Mojo revived

It worked.   My mojo was stimulated after spending a day enjoying nature.  My dog thinks it's such a good idea that he's been lying on the patio enjoying the yard while I was making a card.  Of course, his toys had to be out there with him

A dog's life

Background is made with a Sizzix embossing folder.  I applied Memento Bamboo Leaves ink to the raised portion of embossing folder before adding cardstock to inside.  This creates a debossed surface, with ink in the debossed sections.  Since the folder is larger than I wanted, I had to trim it down a bit to make room for the the layers. 

I applied Memento Ink (Ladybug & Bamboo Leaves) to the Rubber Stampede stamp and stamped on white cardstock.  I cut out 2 pieces of cardstock with the Spellbinders Labels 18 die, then trimmed the embossed edge off the top piece allowing the frame to show.  Butterflies were made with Martha Stewart punches.  Sentiment is a clear stamp by Stampendous and hand trimmed.
