Blue Love - Mojo Monday 223

This week's Mojo Monday was a bit of a challenge for me. You see, I just cleaned my crafting area at the beginning of the week and I found a bunch of stuff I'd forgotten I even owned. This was quite overwhelming and while I had been wanting a few more choices for various things, I found quite a few more choices than I needed.

At any rate, this was the sketch for this week:

And this is what I came up with:

The blue background paper has an image stamped on it in blue. It's hard to see in the pictures and truthfully you can only see it a little bit better in person. I wish I had chosen a slightly darker or lighter shade of ink since it matches the paper a little too perfectly.

As I was thumbing through some paper pads trying to find a good accenting pattern, I came across this lovely pattern. I liked that the lighter blue was close to the other light blues I had already chosen and the brightness of the other colors gave it just a bit of pop.

"Love" is stamped using one of the new stamps I got from Michael's dollar bins. I liked the romantic feeling to the stamp and think it's perfect for this color scheme. I used silly scissors (I always forget what they're really called) to do a decorative edge at the bottom of the cream paper.

The hearts were cut from my Cricut using the Sweethearts cartridge. I added some glitter glue to add a bit of sparkle.

The whole card came together relatively easy and quickly once I was able to decide exactly what I wanted to do with it. Sometimes too many choices are just as bad as not enough!
