Hello! Been awhile since I last posted. Honestly, my papercrafting mojo has been somewhat MIA for a while now. I'm trying to get it back by participating in my two favorite challenges: Freshly Made Sketches and Color Throwdown. Let's take a look at what I made:
The
FMS layout is a nice simple one that you can really tailor to products you want to work with. I had recently gotten the Simon Says Stamp Fab Flower die and decided that I really wanted to make a card with it. Originally, I die cut the flower pieces from all three of the
CTD colors, but as I looked at my arrangement, I thought it was too clunky. So, I decided to go through all the SSS dies I had that featured leaves of some kind and settled on the Etched Berry Branch die. The die is larger than I wanted to use so I just used portions of it to die cut the leaves from brown and the berries from blue. The background was created using the Birch Press Pinpoint Radial Plate die. I trimmed it down to fit the sketch and then layered all the other elements. The sentiment is from a little SSS stamp set called Simply Thank You and was stamped in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink then die cut into the banner. I added one little gem to the center of the flower to finish things off. Very clean and simple, but when I don't have a lot of mojo clean and simple is the way to go for me! I also going to add this to the
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of fall colors as I think my card fits.
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Such a beautiful card, great kickstart <3
I love the clean simplicity of this card!
Those circles in the background draw you right in! Fantastic card, Rosemary! I think my mojo and your mojo must be vacationing together LOL!
I'm so sorry your mojo is missing - it is so frustrating. However, this card shows no signs of missing mojo! Gorgeous elements and the background is fabulous. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Your mojo might be MIA but your crafting skills are NOT! What a wonderful card, and I love the use of the pinpoint circles to make tree rings (or at least that's how I see it)!
Your creations are always exceptional and this card rocks all of the challenges! Love those embossed radiating circles! Thanks for joining us at CTD!
