Got some Mojo ....

... for the Mojo Monday Challenge - MOJO177 - a fabulous sketch, which I've been thinking about since it was posted.  I'm very late to the challenge and so many gorgeous cards have already been posted.  But I couldn't think what to do!!  So I've been sleeping on it for most of the week :)

Then, this morning I realised - turn the sketch on its side - and it came to me.  Out came one of my favourite stamp sets - by the ever talented Claire Brennan!!  I bought these stamps as soon as they were released but I've only used a few bits from the set - however in the last couple of weeks, I seem to be finding reasons for the Half Pint Heroes to come out to play.  And you know I mentioned the goodies I bought yesterday, well I've found a use for the papers on this card! 

The papers are shades of blue, green and brown - so naturally I did an underwater scene with the submarine!!  Actually the first time I saw this stamp I was going to make a yellow submarine!!  I've coloured the image with lots of Promarkers and coloured the card with distress inks.  There's a fabulous port hole in the set and I've used it to make a window with a little chap waving - I'm not sure it shows up properly in the photo, but the window is covered by a lovely big glass chip!  Detail in picture below.  I'm keeping this card in my stash.

Stamps:  Waltzingmouse - Half Pint Heroes
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Cottage Ivy, Pear Tart, Bamboo Leaves; Distress - Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans
Paper:  Avec - Deco Designs
Accessories:  Card, paper, glass chip, embossing powder - from stash
