Mojo Monday!

Wow, its been a long time since I posted a Mojo Monday sketch.  The new Stampin' Up! year just started on July 1st with the release of the new catalog and my New Year's resolution is to try and participate in more challenges, sketches, and contests and to try and stretch my creative comfort zone.  Here is the sketch...
Well, mine came out neither round or square!  I stuck with a traditional size card and adjusted the layers accordingly.  (my two smaller layers are both 2 inches by 3 inches) We have not even thought about going Back to School shopping yet and I seem to have already moved on to Halloween!  Here is my take on the sketch...
I used Old Olive and Cajun Craze Card Stock along with the new Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper.  The stamped image is from the House of Haunts Stamp Set and was heat embossed with Black Stampin' Emboss Powder on White Vellum Card Stock.  Once embossed, I sponged the back side of the vellum with Old Olive, Perfect Plum and Cajun Craze Classic Ink.  I used Old Olive 5/8" Satin Ribbon and an Old Olive Glimmer Brad (from the Brights Collection) for my bow.  The Happy Halloween Sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and punched with the Jewelry Tag Punch.  You can click on the name of any of the products mentioned and the link will take you directly to that product in my on-line store.  

There is a new sketch every Monday, you should play along!  You can find the weekly sketches HERE. 
I hope you enjoyed this weeks sketch and thanks for stoppin' by!

Hi Lisa,

Even though you did not have a perfect square or circle you really pulled it off. I think the sketch lends itself well to the elements arrangement you came up with. - What a fun card, so glad I got to see it.

Have a good week.

This is going in my idea file in the back of my mind! I am not crazy about spooky Halloween stuff and I love trees. I must have about 6 tree stamps, many with bare limbs. This will be the perfect Halloween image. Thank you for sharing with me!
