Sentimental Sundays - New or Neglected Stash (an attempt to perform a CPR on dead mojo)

Another Sunday has arrived and with it a new challenge from Sentimental Sundays. This time it's to use something new or neglected.

This card was a poor attempt to awaken dead mojo by experimenting heavily with heat embossing and neglected border stamps from Autumn Leaves. As a result it looks a total mess and serves as a warning to all of you who take your mojo granted.

The brads have been in my stash forever, same goes for all the scraps of lace I used. The sentiment is from Whiff Of Joy.

The image is new from A Day For Daisies Etsy shop, printed on pearlescent card in sepia and coloured with Copics.

COPIC list:
Skin: E50, E51, E53
Hair: E49, E47, E37, YR14
Basket: E57, E35, E43
Apples: R59, R27, R14, R02, YG21
Dress: YG99, YG67, YG03, YG0000
Blue "glow": BG13, BG32, BG10, BG000
Grounding: W7, W5, W3, W1, W00

Don't forget to check out the gorgeous work of Sentimental Sundays DT and grab our weekly freebie sentiment set!

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!
Hugs

Honestly, we are our own worst critics!!! I just saw this on Sentimental Sundays, my jaw dropped in amazement and I rushed over to tell you how much I LOVE it. The border embossing in the dark brown is simply stunning! Well, honestly, everything is stunning!
