Happy Monday! Are you ready for the week? I am. I guess. I think. Maybe...

Regardless, here we are: another week, and another brand new Mojo Monday sketch, this one courtesy of the talented Teresa Kline. Ready for a look-see? Here you go...

A few months ago, I placed a big order with Waltzingmouse Stamps; WMS sponsored Jen's Sketch For You To Try and after playing with my sponsor set, I fell madly in love. I hadn't got around to inking any of them up, but when I saw this unusual sketch, I thought the time was right.

Isn't that sentiment just the funnest? I love. And the kicky red boots, too. Both are from the Back in the Saddle set. Between the images and the patterned paper (My Mind's Eyes' "Dilly Dally" 6"x6" pad, from the Miss Caroline collection), I felt inspired to get back to basics and use the technique that made me a stamper in the first place: heat embossing! Here's a close-up of the boots, so you can get a good look at the sheen and texture:

I used Red Pepper embossing powder by Powder Keg. The boots are propped up on the smaller rosette from The Cat's Pajamas' Easy Rosette CutUps die. I also used the Inside Pinking Border CutUps die by TCP for the side detail adjacent to the plaid pattern. For the fishtail floral layer, I used Lil Inker Designs' Flags & Tags die.

Mosey on over to the Mojo Monday blog for more info about how you can play along with this week's sketch. And be sure to visit my fellow Mojo Makers for further inspiration:

Y'all come back now, ya hear?
