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?

    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!

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

    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!!!

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

    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.

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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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?)

    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!

    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.

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

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

    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!
