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

Time for the Red & Pink

I was a bit tired of Christmas cards, so this week I finally got to pull out my new products from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog!   I paired my new products with the sketch from Mojo Monday and here was what I came up with.  I had been wanting to try the emboss resist technique FOREVER and finally did it!    Now if I can only learn to tie a bow!
