Mojo's Back!

Good Evening,

I'm not just talking about my personal mojo, I'm talking about Mojo Monday, they have been taking a little break for the past 2 weeks but they have returned to help us get the grey matter working, and I for one am relieved they are back!

Here's the sketch they are designed for us to play with

Isn't it fab, a perfect for sketch for me because I love to matt and layer so I decided to make a card with an autumnal feel, I know many of you will be holding onto the last days of summer, but I quite like autumn. I love the colours of the leaves changing, snuggling under a duvet with my fluffy slippers on, and its means that I can start to get excited about my all time favourite part of the year........christmas!

I have taken the colour combo from my colour coach and tweaked a little, the colours I have used are, More Mustard, Not quite Navy, and Garden Green.


The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted the ribbon and may be thinking to yourself, Stampin' up! don't make that colour ribbon, and you'd be right, I have taken the white organza ribbon and colour tinted it with More Mustard to make a matching ribbon for my card. I also blasted the tails with my heatgun until they curled up, but unfortunately they were too long for the card so I had to chop them down a lot.

Hope you have a great week, xx

I knew you'd be pleased mojo Monday is back! I spotted it on another blog last night and thought of you :)

I love that ribbon!! I have never thought to blast ribbon with a heat gun to curl it like that, knowing my luck I'd just melt it! I'll give it a go when I get back into the swing of things :)

I am hoping that we'll have a late summer, but I guess autumn means birthdays :)

This is a lovely card darl, very autumnal and elegant indeed :)
