For the Mojo Monday card I've gone with the brown and blue colour combo again - I just love these colours together. I've done this card for a friends anniversary that is coming up soon.
So I've done an anniversary verse for the inside.
I didn't have much of a scrap left for the back of the card and couldn't bring myself to cut another sheet lol so had to make do with what was left over.
RecipeSarah Kay image coloured with Distress Inks and H2O's. Distress inks used: Faded Jeans, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Weathered Wood and Tattered Rose.
H2O's used Scarab Beetle, Chestnut, Cedar Wood, Dutch Iris, Buttercup
Paper is Basic Grey
Flowers are a mix of some I made and Primas.
The Raffia lace is from Rach - I just love this stuff.
The second card is for the Basic Grey Challenge and I have used Jack, the cute little footballer from Pink Gem Designs. Talking of Pink Gem Designs, Janet has some fab Blog Candy up for grabs to celebrate the launch of the new stamps so pop across to Pink Gem now and enter.
The sketch calls for ribbon and there was no way ribbon was going to work with little Jack, so to keep to the sketch I used some string. Little boys have all sorts of bits and bobs in their pockets so string worked for me lol.
The inside is stamped with an Elzybells sentiment and an Anita's football stamp. I also used this stamp for the front to break up the plainness, this I heat embossed for a bit of a shine.
RecipeJack from Pink Gem Designs coloured with Prismacolors and H2O's
Paper is Basic Grey from the Boxer 6 x 6 pad
Sentiment on the front is Stampin Up punched out with their word window punch, and the corner punch is a SU punch as well.
Now I also have some awards, one from Donalda
One from Heather
And one from Pauline

Another two fab cards Bev. That little boy reminds me of Ben. I think the string is a boy thing much more apt for a boy than ribbon. Love the use of colour on both cards. Keep up the good work hun.
