Mojo Monday 441

Happy Easter everyone!  Today's challenge came together quickly. I had Asian on my brain since I saw the sketch this morning and was fairly sure I knew what I was going to do before I even started pawing through my Asian stamps and paper.  Now I have time to straighten up this disaster of a scrap room before I can sit, have a cup of chamomile tea and read before bed.

I woke up to about six inches of snow this morning and decided to work from home.  So what does one do when they have to go out this evening and can't do the Mojo Monday challenge?  Well, instead of eating lunch, they make a card!  I had the lighthouse in a stash of undone projects so it was just a matter of putting it through the Big Shot to create the circle.  Then just cutting, layering and adhering!  Though this card is not my very favorite, I am a huge fan of this sketch.  Will be using it again, for sure!

Super easy and fun layout!  Didn't take me hardly any time at all to complete this challenge. I actually now have time to work on some other projects. Happy Monday!

Mojo Monday - 438 - #2

Last weekend when I was playing with the Pearl Ex and stencils I created this orange background paper that has been calling to me all week. I also had colored the Outlines medallion image last week - and that too just sat on my work surface all week begging to be used.  Figured I'd submit another Mojo since it is contest week.

So after dinner this evening my husband asked if I was planning on doing my Mojo Monday.  I was extremely impressed that he remembered how much I have enjoyed the past month or so working on my submission after dinner on Monday evenings.  Huge points for the hubby.  Now I hear a basketball game on TV.  Hmmmmm wonder if he had the game in mind all along....

This past weekend I tried the technique that created the yellow background paper for this card. I decided to attempt the technique even though my pal Vrege hasn't shown us the demo yet at our monthly card club.  The process started with rubbing a Distress Ink Pad across white card stock (in this case the ink was Scattered Straw). Next I filled a small squirt bottle with water and added a bit of Perfect Pearl powder shaking until the powder was dissolved. I placed a stencil over top the inked paper, saturated the paper with the water, blotted with a paper towel and then removed the stencil.  I then dried with the heat gun. The entire process took just about a minute or so.  Pretty happy with the result.
