Mojo Monday Sketch #198

It's been a long time since I have posted anything, summer is just too busy. 
I really like the sketch at Mojo Monday this week  http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2011/07/mojo-monday-198-contest.html and now that my company has all gone home I finally had some time to stamp.

This is for 2 different challenges. Mojo Monday and Stamp TV.

The Grid dp, striped dp and small yellow checked dp are all freebie downloads.  The grid is from hp.com and the other 2 are from Two Peas In A Bucket.
I used a Spellbinders label die and sponged it while still in the frame with Memento Danube Blue and Paris Dusk.  Cut out the Happy Birthday (Memento Lady Bug) sentiment with a Grommet Tag also by Spellbinders and sponged with Memento Dandelion.  Cut the red and yellow banner strips with Spellbinders Pennants dies.  Adhered the grid dp to a Gina K Pure Luxury White card base and stamped with Gina K In Stitches in Paris Dusk.  Stamped the star from the Gina K set Stars with Memento Dandelion then colored with a Prismacolor marker to darken it up and punched out with a Fiskar's star punch.  Attached the Grommet Tag senitment with red eyelets.

Thanks for stopping by!
  



You Know You're Old When...

This week's color challenge on Stamp TV is to use Onyx Black, Red Hot and White.  I used the CardPatterns Sketch 99 found here http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/01/sketch-99.html



My Little Old Lady card

I love the Gina K Design's set You Know You're Old When... and this little old lady just seemed like the perfect image for the circle layer.  She was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Gina K Pure Luxury white cs and colored with Prismacolor markers.  Nesties circles were used for the layers.  Dug deep into my dp scrap box and found the polka dots and striped dp and layered them onto the GK Rocket Red (I didn't have any Red Hot) and punched the upper edge with the Fiskar's Threading Water punch.  Finished it off with the black gingham ribbon from Gina K and used a Bow Easy to tie the bow.  Layered onto a white base, quick and easy.

Thanks for looking!
