Here's my submission for Monday's Mojo challenge. This is my very first time playing along with the Monday Mojo sketches. Here is the link if you would like more information and I also have sketch posted in the photo below.

I've wanted to make this card all week long and I finally put aside some time this evening to stamp. First I stamped my daisy using Summer Sun and then the outline is stamped using More Mustard. The center was stamped using Really Rust and then using the rock n roll technique I rolled the image onto my Chocolate Chip ink pad. There's also a small swirl stamp that I stamped just around the flower center using Really Rust ink.

I decided to make my own decorative paper using the smaller daisy stamp (from the same set) and I added a few accents using my white gel pen. My Summer Sun and Old Olive pieces of cardstock were punched using my scallop border punch.

To finish up my card I stamped, colored, and cut out the bee image, added my ribbon and sentiment, and once I was finished I decided to add some dazzling diamonds glitter.

I figured it's not too early to start thinking about Mother's Day cards so I stamped this one with my Happy Mother's Day sentiment.

Thanks for looking and I hope you all had a great weekend!
