Hi Again!
Here I am posting twice in one day!!! I haven't been in the mood to stamp lately..... I know, I know, I should go to the Doctor but I think the HORRIBLE ~ MLTHD (Mojo Left The House Disease) is now going away!!! There is NO cure and NO pills to take but if you just take a break from stamping (I know, I am upsetting you now but it IS the truth), the Disease will go into remission. Now, it can return periodically but there IS hope!!! You just have to work through it and KNOW that you ARE NOT alone....
Now you are probably wondering what the heck I mean by Thanks A Unch?!?!?!? Here is my card and you will figure it out!
The layout of this card is for Lauren's Saturday Sketch Challenge HERE! The base of my card is Old Olive and is 5 1/4" square. The next mat is first Whisper White and then the UNBELIEVABLY beautiful Memory Box Paper from their Sprout line. I do want to pass on that in these packs of paper you receive 3 sheets of 10 different patterns of paper for ONLY $5!!!! All of the packs have beautiful papers included. The flower stamp set is also from Memory Box and can be found HERE!
The decorative corner was done using the technique I showed you last week ~ HERE. I used Olive rubons from the new Love & Happiness set on a scrap of the decorative paper and then punched them out using my word window punch. See where the unch came from? I shouldn't have tied them like that but it was too late and the person who gets the card can move them apart to see what it is supposed to say!!! I used White Scrappers floss to tie them on, added the same redish color crystals that I used on the flowers in the focal image and Olive Eyelets.
The strip toward the bottom is from another pack of Memory Box paper called Aerial which I mounted on Old Olive cardstock and then cut the bottom with my scalloped scissors. The focal image was stamped on Shimmery White cardstock using Old Olive, Summer Sun and Pumpkin Pie ink. The stem was stamped using the Olive and the flowers were stamped by first inking up the stamp with Summer Sun and then I rolled the edges in Pumpkin and then stamped. The grass was stamped using Olive as well. The redish crystals were glued on using my Quickie Glue pen. The rectangle the image is on, I cut this out with my Nestablilities as was the scalloped mat.

This is perfect! I know what you mean on losing the mojo, it's like it takes a vacation! But you are so right, take a break then go back to it. Good job!
