Monday Mojo 172

I am back today with another FAB sketch from Julee over at Monday Mojo! I do love this sketch as it has so many possibilities! Today I picked the CAS approach!

Here is the sketch....

Here is my card....(But keep scrolling because I changed this card and added more pictures!)

So I am running with the whole polka dot background thing! Cristina sooo inspires me with her use of polka dots so that is where I am getting some PD mojo!! I actually used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig here with the PD's to get them just perfectly lined up!

So that is it for today! Hope it is a fantastic Friday!!

EDIT to original post:

Ok so I am back after staring at the first card over and over thinking I missed something!  What do you think about this version?

I added antenna and a little piece of bling! OH and I put a wider ribbon loop on!

I am thinking I like version 2 better!  What do you think?

Dana said...

At first glance this looks CAS, but it is OH SO MUCH MORE! The tiny ribbon loop, the gorgeous embossing, the perfectly placed butterflies...ah, great card girl!

Lindsay said...

CAS?! HA! This is a decieving little number! So much goodness on one card! Texture and fun elements make this fantastic Laurie!

Christina said...

Totally fab! I love the bit of texure on the red CS and the repetition of the polka dots on the background and butterflies!

Rebecca said...

I love love love this card. The simple polka background, the weave embossing (drool), the crisp colors. How can it be so simple yet have so much depth?! You rock girlie!

Rebecca said...

Forgot to pick which version I like...I like the antenna and the bling but prefer the narrower ribbon. Both are gorgeous though.

Jinny Newlin said...

I'm with you on the second version! Simply, beautiful, CAS card!

Sabrina said...

Sooo Cute!! I love those tiny little butterflies and the polk-a-dots. A great card Laurie!

Alyssa S said...

CAS gorgeousness! I see lots of publications in your future ;o) Love the addition of the antennae and bling too

Patti J said...

Wow! I saw that sketch and thought - what a tough sketch, but Laurie, you have rocked it AND kept it clean and simple! I don't know how you manage to do that! Your card is absolutely wonderful, and yes, #2 is fabby!!!

Amy said...

I do believe #2 is my favorite. Sometimes it's the little things! Beautiful CAS.

Debbie Gaydos said...

It was SUPER cute in the original version!! But I like the update even better. Your PD mojo is catching, you are making me want to grab them too! :)

Sue McRae said...

Fabulous card! Oh and I prefer #2.

Jay Gee said...

Version 2 definitely! I am really loving what you are doing with polka dots at the moment and this is a great take on the sketch.

Aimes said...

Version one - sweet. Version two - FABULOUS! It's amazing what a tiny few adjustments can make to a card!
Hugs,

Kara said...

such a subtle difference between the two, but it makes a big difference.....love version 2!

Jen Carter said...

I love the antenna's on the butterflies. Such a little change but it did really add a ton!! Both are super cute though! I like the wider ribbon as well! Very cute!

Jen W. said...

It's amazing what a difference such little changes can make. I like the first card but the second one just has a little more zing. Awesome!

Lisa Petrella said...

Super cute! I DO like version 2 better---the antenna and the wider ribbon are small changes but make a big impact I think!!! Fantastic work!

Michele Gross said...

Oh my gosh! This is wicked awesome! LOVE those polka dots and the bold bright colors!!

Sue W said...

Liked the first one but the second with the added detail is spot on!!!

Dana said...

Beautiful colors and card! Def seeing that PD mojo!
I agree that that corner looks more balanced with something in it, though I think I prefer your usual silver rhinestone(s). (Hope that isn't critical?)

Eva said...

Laurie...I am speechless...verything about this just rocks! The elements that you put together and the details...just are so amazing together! And yet it is all so clean and simple. The color combo and the color balance is just AWESOME!

Sari Hänninen said...

Wow!!!

Lynn said...

Red and black= happiness! Love them both...extra details on the second are fab!

Denise said...

This is perfect for the Mojo sketch! I was totally stumped by it and decided to 'pass' this week. ;) I love your updated version - the wider ribbon and tiny bling really add a lot to the over all look. Modern and lovely!

Diane Jaquay said...

Wow, this is really fabulous Laurie, I love every single detail!

designbydonna said...

Laurie, you add so much class to CAS cards. I agree #2 is it. Butterflies always need antenna and the black bling dot just makes the whole card.

Jill said...

Totaly jaw-dropper!! Man I love how you took the sketch and really made it sing! You ROCK!

Huguenot Girl said...

Gorgeous card - it's amazing the subtle differences on the 2nd card make. Think it's the antenna that does it!

MackieMade said...

Love the colors! You rocked this design! Great job! The first one caught my eye, but I agree...the 2nd does look better!

Andrea M said...

Love the card before and after!!! Both versions are fabby - the antennae are so cute!!! Gorgeous!!!

Katie {choc0holic} said...

It amazes me how you're able to take the Mojo sketches and still make them CAS! I do like the wider ribbon on the 2nd card as well as the other touches. Fabulous, as always!

Julee (Vervegirl) said...

This is just fabulous! Love that polka dot background! Thanks for playing Mojo Monday!

Lisa A. said...
