Today I am sharing the card that almost wasn't. You know the kind. You work at it and work at it. Pitch it, restart it. When the MOJO has vanished. Thankfully, I walked away from my card this weekend, came back to it a couple of days later and was able to start again and at least change some of the things that really bothered me. So, at least I have a card that I do not hate.
Here is the newest Freshly Made Sketches sketch~
I used the Altenew stamp set, Extra Special, as well as the stencil, Deco Wallpaper stencil.
I am also linking up to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge- Special Lady . In addition, they are using Altenew products this week.
I am also linking up to Watercooler Wednesday, for their All About Occasions challenge.
Pop over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see all of the amazing inspiration (they have not lost their mojo, lol). We hope you will join us and share your creation in the gallery!
Have a blessed day!
Lee Ann

Oh don’t doubt yourself girl......lots of good mojo here....beautifully done and perfect for the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating when fun crafting time isn't really fun! But I love what you ended up with. The subtle background stenciling adds so much to this pretty card.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous Lee Ann and there is evidence at all that your MOJO was lacking!!! I love the background and those gorgeous flowers! The colours are so pretty! The perfect Mother's Day card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Mother's Day Card. Beautiful background and floral design. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteSometimes that's the process, isn't it?? You did come out with a truly lovely card. You created such a soft background for those beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so beautiful and the stenciled background is perfect! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS!! I LOVE that background on this card!!
ReplyDeleteMy mojo has been gone for about 8 months now, so I feel your pain! Every card is an effort. Having said that, though, this card is just gorgeous - as are all your card!
ReplyDeleteI love this Mother's Day card! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Lee Ann! Yes ... I have pushed attempts aside only to revisit them at another time with a fresh look, and sometimes an "Ah-Ha!"
ReplyDeleteHow could you hate this gorgeous card? I'm totally in love with it! This faded herringbone background is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure we've all had those times when a card just isn't....wait for it....in the cards! But I'm also pretty sure we are our own worst enemy when it comes to critiquing our own projects. I'm glad that you don't hate this card because it's quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful inking! Thanks so much for playing Altenew May Inspiration Challenge! FABULOUS!
