Mojo 111

A very quick post to get back in the way of things again.

This week I ordered some new stamps to co-ordinate with the nestabilities Labels 1. The stamps arrived in exceptionally good time but as yet I'm still waiting on my nesties. Decided to have a play anyway and try the Mojo Monday challenge.

Watercolour Spritzing Challenge

I've already mentioned that I'm trying to build up my cards supplies and my ideas by taking part in weekly challenges. Stamptv offers different types of challenges for different days of the week.

This week the technique challenge was watercolour spritzing. Video tutorial can be found here. I'd already used a similar technique before and liked the result. The hardest part was finding a solid or fairly solid image stamp . This tree from CHF seemed the best choice so of course it had to be Autumnal colours. Managed to get the card uploaded with just about an hour to spare before the challenge closed. It's not a card that will stand out among others but it met the brief.

I am excited though because when I checked in this morning I found that I had won and so got to pick a stamp set of choice.

It has to be noted that the winner is the luck of the draw - random generator number - and nothing to do with the card. However, it's an added bonus when something like this happens.

The technique challenge for next week is to ink a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I made a lot of my Christmas cards last year this way and was really pleased with the results. But then I love Cuttlebug embossing folders.

Bouncing Boy card

I decided that a good way for me to increase my 'finished card'

stock would be to try some of the weekly challenges.
This card is for the stampTV Potluck Friday (stvpf22) challenge.

Any design, any colour except pink - a card for a young boy.
I think this fits the bill.

The folding of the card makes it bounce up when opened.

These are quick to make, fun cards - always a hit with kids.
