I've been absent a lot since the start of the holiday season and have also taken a bit of a break from stamping. I just couldn't seem to find my "Mojo" and didn't have the desire to do much stamping. I'm hoping that will change with the start of another year.
So I jumped back into the saddle today with a card for the current, Blogger Challenge,
Lisa gave us a Color Inspiration (sent to her by Kim Howard). I was a bit confused by what colors to use so I emailed Lisa and was told the colors were: Black/White, Green, Purple and Blue.So here is what I came up with:
I'm not entirely sure my "Mojo" has returned in full force but I think the card looks nice. My mom's birthday is coming up on January 18 (she'll be 83) so this may be what I give her for her birthday card unless I change my mind between now and then. Supplies Used: Card Stock: Basic Black, Whisper White and Lavender Lace-retired from SU. Green textured (which I used the wrong side) is from Bazzil. Patterned Paper, Paper Pizazz. Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black. Stamps: Sentiment is Stampendous, Row of flowers from Fiskars-Border-A-Plenty. Nestability Dies, Circle and Lacey Circles. Pearls, Zva - Punch, Daisy Scallop from EK Sucess and the brad is from Doodlebug Design.Now if you'd like to join in on the challenge just create a card using any shades of the colors listed, link back to Lisa's blog using the Mr. Linky feature and that's it. Don't forget to pop in an leave some comment love on the other people's enteries. Have a great week.
Very, very, very pretty Ida! My "mojo" took a vacay in December too and, honestly, it hasn't really come back at least the want to make cards. I am loving my digital scrapbooking though. HUGS and have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like your mojo ever left, Ida. Your card is beautiful. Birthday wishes to your mom too...she would love that card, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty font on the Happy Birthday sentiment. I'm sure your Mom will love this card. It's very elegant and the colors work really well together with the layout. I hope you get lots of Mojo with the cooler weather. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteYour cards are always well worth the wait. You do such a beautiful job. I love the colors and paper on this one, and the design is great! I'd say your mojo has returned. I think a lot of folks are taking a slow recovery from the holidays. I've been dragging my feet, too.
ReplyDeleteOh I think this is beautiful! Love the gorgeous color combination.. its so nice to see some Spring colors. And the pearls on the little flowers is such a sweet touch.
