My item is a standard size card.  I love the lines of our embossing folders and I decided to use some papers which will no longer be available after this catalog ends in July--the Sarita WOTG (workshop on the go) papers.  There is something I just love about Gypsy and Lagoon colors together!  I also loved last week's MojoMonday sketch 342 and decided to use it as my guide for this card.  As you can see it was a great sketch to start from.

My item is a standard size card using the Sarita papers.  I used Sarita because this has been a kit that I wasn't totally loving.  The one thing I've found, if you aren't loving the paper, make something with it and you will surely change your mind.  I used card design 23 from the Make it From Your Heart Vol. 2 pattern book, p. 44.

Here is closer look at the glitter gel & the bitty sparkles:

Papers:   Sarita WOTG kit; Gypsy, Lagoon, Goldrush, and Colonial white cardstocks

Stamps:  S1311 Illuminate

Ink:   Outdoor Denim, Lagoon  Exclusive Inks;

Embellishments:  Bitty Sparkles; Almond Glitter Gel

Other: Scallop Border Punch
