It's been too long since I stamped - where's the mojo??? I used this week's sketch challenge layount # 180 to design a card for the limited supply challenge - use knots! The DSP is SU Western sky and the embellishments are from the SU antique brass line. The knots are tied in hemp twine which is *borrowed* from my DH's workbench! Ssssh don't tell him - it's his father's day card too!!! LOL The two knots featured are the figure eight square knot and the single loop knot, both learned lonnnnng ago in GScouts!
Thanx for lookin'!

I can just hear him now.....well, honey, its a wonderful card but I been looking for this twine for three days now and I certainly would appreciate it if you would stick to all of that stuff in your stamp room that you pay money for! But, I love you!!!!!
Its an awesome card! I love the look of it, the colors are so pretty (manly) I should say. I am so impressed that you could remember your knots. I never learned knots but I am pretty sure I tied an 18 sided double toe loop-tee-do with a backsided double square knot to make it strong! Snort!

What a great card! I love the colors and details! The rope knots and jumbo eyelets are perfect! Great double challenge card and certainly plenty of mojo going on here!

You think you've lost what? Your mojo? Oh no,girl, let me stop you right there! This is just a wonderful card with exceptional use of large eyelets, twine, colors and image. So what am I missing here? Are you sure you want to hang on to that feeling? Sit down, read your comments and realize this is one sensational card.
