Mojo Monday 79




Last week I had my Mojo Monday card done on Monday and this week I struggled a bit to try to come up with an idea for this sketch. I had to look through all my stamps to figure out what would fit this layout. I think it was the bow on the bottom that threw me. I finally settled on this stamp from a Tricia Santry Studio acrylic stamp set called "Hoppy Day".

I double stamped the image and then popped off the whole thing including the butterflies. I added the micro beads to the flower center with some Diamond Glaze for glue. I also used my clear glitter pen on the butterflies although I don't think you can see that in the photo. I drew in the border around the stamped image and added the brads along the right side along with the "friend" sentiment. The bottom border is an MS punch and the patterned paper is by Heidi Grace. The burgandy paper was from my stash and the gold is Stampin' Up's mustard paper.
Once again, I used my Cuttlebug dots embossing folder for the gold background.
Thanks to the Mojo gals for once again pushing me to go outside my box with this challenge.
