Mojo 159

I haven’t done a Mojo Monday sketch for a long, long time!  I needed a thank you card, so using the sketch as my starting point, I chose a new stamp set I just got, Style Beautiful:

I can see so many possibilities with this set….and just not enough hours in the day!  I wanted to bling this up some more but thought it looked classy enough just the way it was!  The image was colored with Baja Breeze ink and a blender pen, then highlighted with a Jelly Roll glitter pen; it always disappoints me when you can’t see that effect in my photos! 

Anyway, the Elegant Soiree DP was a perfect complement to this image, and the black accents really make it stand out.  To get the bottom edge, I ran my paper through the Big Shot with the Top Note die just enough to cut the border, then reversed it back out again.  I used the little edge piece as an accent for my narrow black grosgrain ribbon. 

It’s pretty faint, but I used another image from the set for the background of my “thank you”, which is from Day of Gratitude.  And I want to thank you for all the compliments about my sweet little granddaughter!!  I am so glad you indulge me!  She does take away from my stamping time, but I know these days are precious, so I am enjoying them.  If I am not visiting & commenting, it’s only because I am tending to her little needs!!  And yesterday, when she woke up from one of her short little naps, here is what she greeted me with:

Shouldn’t we all wake up so happy & cheerful?!  There must be a lesson to learned here somewhere!  Enjoy your day and your weekend, everyone!  God bless!
