TWO MOJO MONDAYS!

Today, I was able to create two cards from Julee Tilman's Mojo Monday (MOJO41) Sketch. This first card was completely inspired by Kelly Lunceford's card HERE. Kelly's selection of papers, stamps, and embellishments is brilliant, and I was compelled to use them with this sketch.
RECIPE
Stamps: Define Your Life, Defining Alphabet
Paper: River Rock, More Mustard, and Very Vanilla CS, Wild Wasabi Prints DP
Ink: Wild Wasabi and Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
Embellishments: Little Reminders No. 2 Accents & Elements, Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelets, Antique Brass Brad, Wild Wasabi Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools: Paper Piercing Tool & Mat Pack, Crop-A-Dile
Supplies: Stampin' Dimensionals

Here's my second card using the colors Real Red, Bashful Blue, and Barely Banana. The main flower image was created by layering an assortment of self-adhesive die cuts from Build-A-Flower Accents & Elements. In addition to the vertical line of paper piercing, there is paper piercing within the For a Friend stamped image. There are Real Red CS 1/2" circles backing the Bashful Blue buttons.

RECIPE
