Here's this week's Mojo Monday challenge:
Here's what I came up with and neither one contain Stampin' Up! supplies! Uh oh! Contraband:
Here is the sketch for this week`s challenge:
Here`s my version of the card using the Watercolor Trio Stamp Set:
The stamped image was created with Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo Markers. I used different combinations of the colors and stamped the image 3 times. The very faded image was stamped off. I stuck to the TRIO idea with the 3 ribbons by using all 3 colors again only in the matching polka dot ribbons, and embellishing them with 3 white brads. The polka dot paper in the background is from the Island Oasis designer paper pack from Stampin`Up! and once again it has polka dots in corresponding colors. The piece behind the stamped image was embossed in the Polka Dot embossing folder using the Big Shot. I like the sketch this week as it was so fast and easy to duplicate! Be sure to try your own and enter it at the Mojo Monday site! Have a great day all!
This week's challenge is suppose to include PEARLS & SWIRLS. Normally when I think if this design my mind goes immediately to a very elegant and baroque type of design. Today I must have really been out of my element because my card is much more whimsical than my normal style!
Here is a list of supplies I used for this card:
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry
Designer Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Embellishments: Pearls, Rich Razzleberry Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools: Big Shot, Fancy Favor Die Cut
Stamp Set: Sweet Scoops from the New Summer Mini

I'm just so excited to announce this winner! First of all I want to say how amazed I was by all the entries and beautiful work that all you fine stampers submitted! I very large thank you for each and every entry and the effort that you put in to your designs. They are truly works of art! It was very hard to pick just one winner but it had to be done!
In consultation with my daughter Jocleyn, who is a Universitly Graduate with a Fine Arts Degree in Painiting, we did reach a decision. I usually use Jocelyn too because of course she has no idea about who anyone is and she looks at things strictly from an artistic perspective.
Congratulations to Ann Fitton who submitted Entry #3! Here is her beautiful card:

Here is a few Mother's Day cards that I created with the Garden from the Heart Stamp Set. I love this set becuase it is very easy to color and use different mediums on.
The image was stamped with Soft Suede and then colored with markers. The lay ering and ripping plus a little sponging softens the look for sure. The designer paper came for the Patterns 3 hostsess pack of papers.
The second card has a vintage collage look and I combined the Garden from the Heart stamp set with the Vintage Voge stamp set. Once again sponging was used to softne the final look of the project.
Here is the Mojo Monday Sketch of this week:
I decided to tackle 2 challenges at once so my card uses the sketch from Mojo Monday but it also meets the perameters of today's challenge on my Sweet Pea Online Extravaganza designed by Kristen Conant.
For the Sweet Pea challenge of the day you had to create a card that:
1. Used only the Color Palette of the Sweet Pea Paper Pad
2. Used Stampin' Up! punches
3. Only had a Greeting stamp on it.
Here's what I came up with for my card:
Cardstock: Taken with Teal, So Saffron, Whisper WHite
Designer Paper: Sweet Pea # 45, 46 and 6
Embellishments: Whisper White Satin Ribbon, So Saffron Brads
Punches: Eyelet Border, 5-Petal Flower
Tools: Piercing Tool & Mat
Stamp Set:With All My Heart (page 12 of the Occasions Mini)
I'm sorry to see Taken with Teal retire in a few months so guess I'm getting my fill of it these days! LOL
Thanks to everyone that had a peek or particpated in my Canadian Flag Challenge last Monday! Here is the card I created which also doubles as Challenge #66 this week at Late Night Stampers!
Love all the answers I received, you gals really did your homework! Here is a little Trivia to add to the fabulous answers I received.
1. Canada is called the Dominion of Canada because when the fathers of Confederation formed our great nation in 1867 their prayer was that God would have dominion from sea to sea. A verse in Revelation of the bible.
2. A Maple Leaf was chosen for all the reasons that were given in the great answers but also because the Maple Leaf is a sign of peace and healing. They wanted our country to be portrayed as a peaceful and friendly nation that would bring healing to all the nations of the world.
Now for the most important news! The winner of the challenge is:
Sherry D. Congratulations Sherry and thanks for such a thorough answer to the quesitons!
