So how does one go about courting the return of one's mojo ... well, with a little Mojo Madness of course. Julee of Verve Visual has posted a March Mojo Madness Sketch challenge.
I started by stamping my Stampendous Agapanthus Cluster on a scrap of Prima paper because it fit the shape of the sketch (tall and narrow) and I knew the image would not be disrupted by the placement of the strip along the bottom. Next, I headed off to my scrap bin to see what else I could add to my card.
I found a card base already covered with a piece of Basic Grey Infuse paper (from some long-abandoned project) and decided to see what I could do with that. I pulled in scraps of coral and dark brown together with a floral embellishment & a thank you from Stampin' Up's Short and Sweet set (love these little sentiments), and, lo and behold, I think my mojo has returned.
A big thanks to Julee for another great sketch.
PS - This also works for My Time To Craft's Flower Power Challenge.
Wonderful card. I love it. Must check out the blog with the Mojo. :)

absolutely adore every millimeter of this! it's glorious! and i feel much wiser and very grown up now to know that what SOME might have mistaken for "fancy dandelions" is actually an AGAPANTHUS CLUSTER. (quel horticulturale!!!)

This card reminds me to dust off some old stamps I have lying around and pair them with fresher papers. Looks beautiful!
