Thursday with Simon Says Stamp's "Time for Wine" and Mojo Monday Sketch

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day and the new year is treating you right.

During my dry spell last month, I entered some contests at a couple blogs and won some prizes. I though I would share them here with you.


The first one I won was from a "A Blog Named Hero." I commented on a card by Beverly, which I LOVE. She was so nice to send me the card as well as some yummy goodies. I cannot wait to sit down and color this stamps and use the fun gold goodies!!


Then I had another wonderful surprise of winning a prize for Uniko Studios blog hop. This is an English stamp company that I drool over. The owner, also a Beverly, sent me these adorable stamps. I will definitely be using these soon as I make my Christmas cards for next year!!


Then I received a nice surprise from Taunya Butler that blogs at Daisies Girl. She sent me that adorable card and some Simon Says Stamps dies. Wasn't that sweet?

Okay, now for a card I created using a Mojo Monday Sketch and my newly used Simon Says Stamp "Time for Wine" stamp and die set.


The sketch #478 was PERFECT to use with the sentiment and images from this SSS set.


As I do with a lot of my stamp sets, I stamped a ton of images and then colored them in all at the same time. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for all the wine bottle, glass, and leaves on my card.


I used a piece of Heidi Swapp striped paper left over from the card I posted yesterday and some patterned paper from the "Love Notes" collection by We R Memory Keepers that I bought last year. I thought the black and white color scheme was perfect with the purple.


The sentiment was stamped with Paper Trey Ink's "Simply Chartreuse" dye ink, as it matched the leaves perfectly.


When the card was completed, added some sequins randomly around the card.

I am entering this card into A Blog Named Hero's "New to Me" challenge as well as the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Start Afresh." Both the paper and the stamp set are things that I have never used before this week.

That is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS Thursday!!

Mojo Monday Challenge #378

It is Friday, my last official day of vacation. The time has FLOWN by and been so relaxing. One of the things that I was able to do over vacation was to see a lot of movies. I saw "Unbroken" and "Wild" at the movie theatre and watched "Delivery Man," "Sex Tape," and "Lone Survivor" on TV. I have an eclectic taste in movies, don't I?

Today I am sharing a card I created using the sketch #378 from the "Mojo Monday Challenge Blog."


I used Ranger Distress Markers to ink up the flower stamps from Lawn Fawn's "Penelope's Blossoms" stamp set and the vase from Lawn Fawn's "Our Friendship Grows" stamp set to create the vase with the flowers. After they were stamped, I took a wet water color brush and brushed over them to give them a water colored effect.


After the flowers were dry, I added some Stickles to the middle of the pink flowers and Clear Wink of Stella over the purple to the make the images sparkle.

I then used the sketch below for the rest of my card.
I did not do a tall and skinny card but adapted it to a regular 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" card size. The papers were all scraps that I had in my scrap bin.

Thank you for looking!! Have a great day!!
