Mojo...Wednesday??





Happy Hump Day!

What a crazy couple of days I've had - I left the house before 8 a.m. yesterday and didn't settle back in to the house until almost 7 p.m.!  Needles to say I got LOTS done in town but NOTHING done at home!  I wasn't feeling that great this morning into the early afternoon but thought I'd take a stab at a card when the kids got home from school.

I'm back with another Mojo Monday contribution - this time I combined it with Arielle's Colour Q Challenge.  Here's the sketch to refresh your memory:

 

And Arielle picked the C-U-T-E-S-T little dress for the colour inspiration - makes me wish I had at least *one* girl to shop for!!  LOL



Arielle thought we might have trouble with the Regal Rose thrown in but, for me, the tough colour was that Orchid Opulence.  I have NEVER used OO in a card before - EVER.  I don't use my Bold Brights very often so it's kind of nice when a color challenge makes me step out of my box.

I used another one of Verve's Plain Janes - Psalm 121: 1-2 ~~ I just love these Scripture verses.  They are so versatile and the fonts Julee has chosen are incredible.



Recipe - Stamp: Psalm 121 (Verve)  Paper: Orchid Opulence, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Rich Razzleberry, Regal Rose, Urban Garden DP, unknown SU DP  Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose  Accessories: Paper piercer, Nestabilities, Rich Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon, brads, Martha Stewart border punch, "Merry" Sizzlit, Swirls embossing folder

So there you have it - another attempt to make *someone* out there say "OOOOOOOH!"  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.  Tomorrow I will try to get caught up on the challenges I've missed this week - Thursday is a slow day for new challenges.  See you then!
