This is a long card that I made for the current Mojo Monday sketch challenge. It measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". I don't normally make long cards, but this was a fun one to make...unfortunately, now I'll need to make an envelop for it, too, since I don't have any envelopes that size.
I have to tell you, I'm absolutely giddy with excitement over this card - I know, that sounds funny and you're probably thinking, "Well, Julie, why don't you just pat yourself on the back!" lol :) So, I'll explain my excitement. Tonight, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM we were supposed to turn off the lights in support of Earth Hour. So, we obeyed the no lights rule and lit some candles instead. Well, I made this entire card in the dark - by the light of just a few tealights! I think I did a pretty good job with my matting, don't you think? lol :)
Here's the Mojo sketch that I followed:
I also used some gorgeous, double-sided, patterned paper that my friend, Val gave to me. We each bought paper for the other person and challenged her to use that piece of paper on a card. A fun challenge and Val was good to me, giving me this gorgeous paper to work with! :)
Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
