Beautifully Baroque Eastern Elegance

Don’t you just love light and fun designs?  Cool colors prevail in today’s Mojo Monday sketch; which is a simple go to sketch that you will definitely want to try.  You can see the Eastern Elegance paper plays well with the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder.  Here’s the sketch and my interpretation.  Don’t forget about my special that’s running till Wednesday!  It’s at the end.

Personal Note – I’m in the process of moving.  Yup, today I’m actually packing up the Stampin’ Studio – and that’s quite a task!  So over the next few weeks, you’ll see a few current and some fun projects from the past.  Don’t worry – I’m finding projects that I just loved – but never blogged…so I hope that’s exciting for you too!  And the only good thing about moving – purging!  So thanks for stopping by!

Creative Tips –

• You will want to choose two complimentary but completely different pieces of Designer Paper if you go that route.  This way they won’t compete with each other. 
• For the designs you see in this project – it was necessary to flip the larger rectangle with the smaller one due to the patterns.  It worked better this way.
• If you don’t like the size of your matte with your circles – try off-setting them like shown here.  Add some piercing to really accentuate it.
• To help make the baroque medallion stand out, emboss it with the Beautifully Baroque Textured Embossing Folder, then add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to 2-way glue on the raised image portions.
• Pop the medallion up further than the banner to really give it a little depth.
• The card front, banner and medallion are all popped up on Stamping Dimensionals.
