Thanks, Julee T, for another fabulous Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO116). I needed a birthday card for my niece's husband. I thought these colors (Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie) were simply splashy for a festive, masculine card. Click here to see more of my masculine card samples.
A Circle Scissor Plus and Glass Mat are the stars of the show today. I was able to create the exact sized circles and mats I wanted. Click for my tips on using the Circle Scissor Plus.- Stampin' Up! Markers were used directly to the rubber for the sentiment (the paintbrush end). Alternating colors allows you to create a multi-color single stamp (Everything Nice stamp set).
- Substituting the Large Star and Star Punch for the bow gives the sketch a "manly" edge.
- A trio of Silver Brads top and bottom offer a crisp accent.
- I again applied Stampin' Up! Markers directly to the rubber of the hat stamp (Party Hearty stamp set) for a jazzed up envelope flap.
