Monday means I get to design for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 75. This layout was a perfect opportunity to mix and match the patterns and colors of Stampin' Up!'s Candy Lane Designer Series Paper. I even managed to toss in this week's Splitcoast Stamper's Ways to Use "Stripes" Challenge (WT206).The sweet flower from Bella's Bloom was inked in Pink Pirouette and stamped on Very Vanilla card stock. I next layered the sentiment on top, dipped in Close to Cocoa. The corners are shaped with a Ticket Corner Punch.
Using Stampin' Dimensionals, the panel was attached to Close to Cocoa card stock. Vintage Brads (pewter) line up at attention along the right side.
A Five Petal Punch pops out a wonderful Ruby Red textured card stock flower. For the center, I stamped the small image from Bella's Bloom in Close to Cocoa. It was punched out with a 1/2" Circle Punch and spiffed up by transforming it into a custom brad, with Stampin' Up!'s Build a Brad (pewter).
Patterns from Candy Lane Designer Series make up the remaining elements of Mojo 75, all layered over a Very Vanilla 4.25 x 5.5 card. I love the way the Close to Cocoa Eyelet Border creates a lace-like edge.

Beautiful take on the Sketch – Mary!!!!
I am still confused how to use the Splitcoast Stampers’ Color Challenge. I click on it, but then several headings come up. I don’t know which one to pick to come up with the weekly or current challenge or colors. Please help. Thanks.
Hi Nancy:
Clicking on the link to the SCS Color Challenge on the left side of my blog takes you to the SCS forum.
In some of the forums for the different challenges, there is a date. Look for the most current date. Finding the most current date should lead you to the most current challenge.
This isn’t always the case . . . for example, the color challenge for this week is CC207. It’s the highest number but if someone posts to an earlier challenge it will move higher on the list and CC207 will not be at the top.
If you click on option with the highest number, you will be able to see when it was first posted . . . that will definitively show you if it’s the most current since you will see the first post and date.
Hugs, Mary
Love the simplicity and colors. Love the brad too.
Very cute and pretty!
Oh this is so pretty! I’ve noticed SU Designer Paper usually has a nice balance of subtle designs to balance the bolder designs. Perfect for matching up together as you have done on this card. Great take on the sketch!

Oooh! I’m in love with Candy Lane DSP lately! I may just have to case this one. TFS.
Beautiful card! Great sketch! I love the color combination.
Pretty! Love the handmade brad.
I love how you changed your polka dots to green today. Reminds me of the green grass that will soon be popping up. (If the snow ever leaves) That card is so lovely and it is so simple. Thanks for sharing it.
Such a beautiful card, Mary! Everything looks so neat and clean! I love the eyelet border punch, yummy! You used the sketch perfectly! Hugs, Monica
