Mojo Lovin'

I used this week's awesome Mojo Monday sketch for this card! Aren't those the best?!?

Each part of my flower arrangement was stamped and covered with clear embossing powder to get the flowers all layered on top of each other. I started with the flower, since I wanted it in the foreground. For that, I actually stamped the flower (cool caribbean and old olive), then stamped over it with Versamark, using a Stamp-a-ma-jig. Heat emboss. Next, press your "cat tail" stamp into Versamark, then give it one good solid press into sahara sand. Now apply to paper. This will allow you to heat emboss in color without needing separate colored pigment inks. Before actually heating, I removed excess embossing powder from my original flower with a water brush. Heat. Repeat with fern stamps using Versamark and old olive ink. Not only do you get your flowers layered all pretty, but they also have that classy embossed look now too!

I finished it off with some So Saffron sponging and added highlights with a black micron pen.

Black panel was dry embossed with the Birds and Swirls cuttlebug folder, then lightly sanded to let the white core show through.

Looks like I was kind of wordy today. I hope the explanation helped somebody out there.

Thanks for stopping by!
