and the countdown continues....plus MOJO40 card to share!

***ok first thing i need to do is take care of an emergency - will the person from the phillipines who emailed me about scrapbook kits PLEASE email again as i ACCIDENTLY DELETED your email ACK!!!!!!!! ***

ok on to our regularly scheduled program....first up is my MOJO40 sketch card. For those that don't know this is put up every Monday by Julee who is the owner/designer over at Verve Visual. The first Monday of each month she picks a winner to receive a stamp set. so the sketch:

and the card:
i must admit i saw the sketch and was a little at a loss as to what i should do. but i love how this came together. the stamped image is another of my new ones - which BTW now have NAMES!!! came up with them as i was uploading to scs - i will share those tomorrow in full but for now this one is ladybugs a scuttle. all inks are ranger - i stamped with pebble and then colored in with red pepper, lettuce, and lake mist. Circles are cut on the cricut (amy - 1/8" border....yes you need a cricut hahahah) and the green swirly ummmmmmmm thing is also cut on the cricut. the cuttlebug corner is another technique from Paper Transformed *lovin this book!* - painted a black piece of paper with silver paint dabber, cuttlebugged it, rubbed it with snadpaper and then some oregano ink - awesome IRL!! the german scrap across the bottom was gold but i colored it with silver and black alcohol ink and then rubbed it with oregano also. dots are Lettuce dimensional pearls.

next up is another baby pezzy playin with blocks:

i sprayed the CTMH pattern paper with pearl mist - water and perfect pearls powder in perfect pearl - no color just pure shimmery goodness!!! image is colored with prismas and gamsol and some sweet little sugar pops from the bead pops line.

here's another cake-cake with pezzy:

the background is smooshed pearl paint and stickles!

and finally another lady bug:

colored in with ranger ink and added fired brick distress embossing powder - which i adore - background is my cobblestones in black stazon on a transparency and then alcohol inked.

so today i pick my first winner! and the winner is.......Mel ! drop me an email with your address and color choices!

and now for todays question - what is your FAVORITE technique/tool - either one that you use or one that you admire. right now i am LOVING all over the copic coloring. i have markers on their way but i'm sure i will need lots of practice!

hope you all get to have an inky day today!!!
