I attempted the faux tile technique yesterday and I have to say, I HATE this card. I had an image in my head of what I wanted it to look like and this was so NOT it. :( I loved Awash with Flowers in the catalog, but it is one of those stamp sets that gets the better of me every time. I keep trying, but I can't get a card that I like with it.

Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Concord Crush, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight

TLC 307: Mojo Motivator
This time of year is a pretty difficult time for me, so I have been in a bit of a funk with everything. I finally got myself in my room and made a card today and it did make me feel a little better. This is for the Try a New Technique Challenge over on Splitcoast this week. It was titled Mojo Motivator since so many of us stampers seem to be struggling to find our stamping mojo. :) For the challenge you had a to pick 3 things from last year's challenges: a technique, a color combination, and a sketch. I used paper piercing, Blushing Bride/Riding Hood Red/Early Espresso color combo, and sketch 312.
Stamps: Valentine Defined
Paper: Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
Ink: Blushing Bride, Early Espresso (marker), and Cherry Cobbler because I didn't have the RHR marker
Accessories: brads, mat pack, paper pierce, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
