Mojo Monday Week 186

I am really loving this super creative 'zone' that I'm in these days . . . sad to say my house is showing the effects of me spending too much time in my studio.  But eventually the creativity will wane for a while and there will be time enough for cleaning then!  I used to 'play' with Mojo Monday regularly, but haven't participated in a while.  When I saw this week's sketch, I knew I wanted to give it a try because of all the different elements of the sketch.  Here is this week's sketch . . .

And here is my card based on the sketch . . . 

I really love the poppies image that I found online.  And the different shades of red in the paper really picks up the different shades in the image.  Here is all the info . . . 

The Products:

• Base cardstock, and green scalloped cardstock is from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) Textured Cardstock Stack - Darks
• Beige and rust cardstock in sentiment is small scraps from my stash
• Patterned paper (top and bottom) are from My Minds Eye - So Sophie "Anything for you" Reliable Red Paper
• Cream seam binding is from Bluebird Lane Etsy Shop
• Sentiment is from SRM Press, Sticker Sentiments #51006 Thinking of You
• Red twine is 'perle cotton' from my embroidery stash

• Scalloped edges of green cardstock were cut using Fiskars 'apron lace' Border Punch

Hmmmm, I just remembered, today is the 27th anniversary of the day my hubby and I met for the first time on a blind date.  Guess who will be getting this card when he gets home from work!   I hope you have enjoyed this card and I really hope to see you back here again soon!  Blessings folks!  Becky
