{6.18.2012} delight…
So, my mojo is rebelling again.
And it MUST be a teenager, because it sure is in an awful mood. Ha. The new Unity Stamp Company – Stamp of the Week was calling to me to create something with it, but goodness… it was a challenge for me. Literally. When my mojo needs a good swift kick in the patootie, I turn to challenges. I have to thank Simon Says Stamp and CAS-ual Fridays for their inspiration when I am in dire need. I don’t know what I would I do without my favorite challenges.
What a delightful stamp this week. I love the included banner shape and the butterfly is darling. Another paper piecing dream. The challenge for Simon Says Stamp is based on a lovely photo collage by Joy. It reminds me of pure summertime and sunshine. I tried to mimic the feelingi by pulling the colors and the flowers from the different pictures.
And the CAS-ual Friday challenge required the use of vellum or acetate. I haven’t pulled out my vellum in a while, so I embossed the butterfly in white on it. The 1″ circle was perfect to punch the butterfly out of the center of the stamp.
I hope you delight in each day this week!
Happy Monday.

I love the idea of using both faux & real stitching – and the hearts, and the vellum butterfly & embossing 🙂 This turned out super sweet for someone who needed a kick in the mojo!
