Hello everyone! I know it's Tuesday, but I'm posting my MoJo Monday sketch challenge card today! This is another of those double-duty cards also (I love it when that happens) because it also qualifies for the In The Pink contest on Pals Paper Arts.
I used the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set and Shimmery White Cardstock and used the floating re-inker technique. The rose uses Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose and the smaller flower is So Saffron and Old Olive. The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. I used the Eyelet Border Punch, some Rich Regals pink brads, the Paper Piercing Tool, mat and template and some 5/8" Regal Rose Grosgrain Ribbon. It doesn't show very well in the photo, but I also embossed the Regal Rose layer and the envelope flap with the Manhattan Flower Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. The tiny polka-dot print is from the Write Stuff Specialty Designer Series Paper. And of course, a little stamping on the inside of the card is always a nice touch!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I do hope you'll visit again soon. My regular feature, Taking it to the Top Tuesday, will be posted this evening so I hope you'll come back later! That's it for now! Thanks for looking and Happy Stamping!
