Tassel Hassle!

Thanks to the loud clap of a thunderstorm this morning I was up very early & found the courage to get back into my stamp room. I've seemed to have lost my stamping mojo some time last week & have been struggling to complete 4 different projects. Today I attempted to finish up this week's CPS Challenge #117 that I started the other day, and I'm glad to report that it was a simple success!

I started by heat embossing the sentiment with white embossing powder. Then I cut it out & layered it using my Nesties. I stamped the Tassel image with green ink and then shaded it in with green chalk. I used a yellow glitter gel pen to color in the metal clip on the tassel. I assembled the card as displayed by the sketch, embellished it with some brads that matched the color scheme, and adhered the entire piece onto a green cardstock base.

Well, with my lurking mojo, I can't promise that I'll have another project to share with you for tomorrow, but stay tuned for my Fun Filled Friday Challenge card posted on time this week. It's another partially started project, but I'm going to give it my all! With that being said, I just remembered I still have to finish last week's challenge as well (to create a card & decorate the inside too). Note to self, put that on the to-do list for when my mojo returns full time!

I hope your skies are much sunnier then we have today.

Thanks for visiting!

Smiles,
Jennifer
