I have been tempted to play along with a Mojo Monday challenge for some time. They celebrated 'Mojo turns 100' last week with a fabulous inspirational sketch every day.I loved all of the sketches but was too busy to hit the craftroom. The Week 101 sketch really 'called' to me and as I am less busy now I decided to go for it and join the fun!
My first effort looked better without the snipped ribbon effect, so I added some gems and just went with it.
This is my second attempt, which is closer to the sketch.
Both cards have similar ingredients - Hero Arts Cupcakes Clear Stamp set, some Cuttlebugging, Stickles for added sparkle and Versacolour inking. I was inspired by Lucy's lovely colouring on kraft paper and decided to give it a go. It gives a very soft, muted effect and looks quite pretty. ...and here is the cutest cupcake of all: my beautiful niece at 3 months old. Is there anything as sweet as a baby taking a nap whilst wearing a fancy hat?
Her Mommy is still poorly, but we're all hoping that she will be able to leave hospital really soon.
I have just had a call from Hannah (my best friend's daughter) to tell me her GCSE exam results. She has done really well, especially in English and History. I am so proud of her!
