Find Your Style Congratulations Card

A friend of mine has just finished her Masters degree, and I was invited to a celebratory BBQ. So I thought it fitting that I bring her a card, as well I decided to play for the very first time at Mojo Monday!

Today's inspiration is MOJO192

By the time I was done picking papers and colors, I realized this was going to be a girly rather than a more boy-style card.



As you can see, I decided to use a different stamping technique by first inking the entire stamp in Cranberry, then rolling the edges in Smokey Plum for a two-tone effect. Should you decide to try this, remember to pick the lighter ink first, then work with successively darker and darker inks.
