Embrace Life

It's Mojo Monday time again! For this week's sketch, I used an old Carousel Note as my card base, and one of my favourite stamp set and paper combos - Embrace Life and Ginger Blossom. It's been awhile since I used this stamp set, I'd forgotten how nice it is!

I had some extra time (while I played a poker tournament at Full Tilt! I love online poker) so I cut out more flowers while I played and made a matching envelope.

Here's the card. This is just the card front, there is a square card base glued underneath. I used a bunch of the Ginger Blossom paper as well as Ruby Red & Groovy Guava card. The circle layers were cut with the Circle Scissors plus - I love this tool! The glitter is copper stickles.

Here's the inside. I've used ink pads and a blender pen to quickly colour the images for a bit of pop.

The envelope features a Very Vanilla label and a couple of the same cut-out flowers from the card. Simple, but oh so pretty!

Happy Stampin'

  3. loving the colours you used and love that you made an envie to fit it.....a round card is such a point of difference. Like the idea in the post below of the gift card holder too.
