This weeks challenge with Joann
@ Jo's Scrap Shack was to follow the
Mojo Monday Sketch 281 with the addition of two buttons.
I started with black cardstock and stamped the flowers from an old Stampin Up set with Versamark. I then colored over them with perfect pearls. I outlined the flowers with a white gel pen and then fussy cut them out. Then I stamped "Giving it All Meaning" from The Unity Stamp Company in CTMH white daisy ink. To create the background. I then cut out the background slightly smaller than my black card base and inked around the edge.
Then I attached my ribbon from my stash and two small buttons onto my ribbon. I finished it off by arranging my flowers and popping them up at different levels to give some dimension.
Lastly I drew in stitching with my white gel pen.
I plan to enter my card into the Mojo Monday challenge and Unity's Friends with Flair on Friday.
Keep tuned for our next challenge where we are going to be inspired by this month's color inspiration for the
February {be inspired} Unity challenge
