Brother's Birthday - Mojo 90

The Bow Easy's arrived today!  You can check them out here, and if you are only wanting the Bow Easy I have included an option with postage!  What do you do the minute you receive a new toy?? you use it, and I quickly cut a piece of ribbon and made a double bow just to be sure it's as easy as it looks...and it was!  Unfortuneately today I needed a card for one of my brother's, so not a bow in sight.

Today I used my JustRite stamps to make this card using the sketch from this week over at Mojo Monday.  I used a 1 5/8" border and stamper, and the Special Occasions and Small Letters Fonts for the round disc at the top, and a larger stamper for the word 'Brother' and the Special Occasions Font.  These were both stamped with Palette Burnt Umber ink, cut out with Spellbinders Circles and Tags, and then sponged lightly with SU! Really Rust. 

I took the plunge and pulled out my sewing machine today - I do have sewing to do, but I didn't quite get to that :)  I stitched with white cotton around the edge of the main card which is 14cm x 14cm Kraft, and then sponged lightly with Burnt Umber.  Then using brown cotton I stitched on the first layer in a zig-zag stitch, adhered the next, and used dimensional foam to raise both the star and tag.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Andrea,
Great card, love the colours. I always find male cards so hard to make, but I love what you have done!
Great job on the Mojo sketch too!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Take Care,
