I was inspired to make this project by the 'Game Pieces' challenge at Artful Times but looking back at their blog now, I'm not sure I 100% followed the brief - maybe I should have altered an existing game piece.
Anyway, this is a 'mojometer' - you spin it when you lose your crafting mojo and then you have to follow what it says :
Follow
a sketch Copy a colour
combo Try a new technique
Watch
a video CASE someone’s
card Play with a stamp set
Pick
a patterned paper Pimp an old
project
I made it using my elctronic die cutter and a cutting file from the Silhouette store - I'm sure you could do this by hand if you had very good cutting skills (which I don't!).
Although this looks multi-coloured, I only used four Distress ink pads plus black and white cardstock. I used a flower stamp by a different company for each segment. I printed the words onto Safmat clear film.
As well as Artful Times I'd like to enter:

What a fun project!!!
I love this Marina it is such a great idea. Sorry it doesn't qualify for the prize at Artful Times as it is entered into more than 5 challenges and the theme was to use game pieces
Love Chrissie xx
Brilliant idea Marina - I'm thinking we could use something similar for a challenge at the retreat. :)
Fantastic idea. And you've shown just how versatile distress inks are. Good luck in the That's Crafty! draw.
Thank you for entering your inky project in to the That's Crafty! Challenge. Good Luck with the draw!
What a fun creation! I love it that you made your own game piece. Thanks for joining us at Alphabet Challenges.
Love the idea of a mojo meter we can all use one of those at times :)

What a clever idea Marina and one I might have to steal! Such an original idea for the dreaded mojo block.
Thanks for joining in with our That's Crafty Inky Antics challenge and wishing you good luck.

Cool idea!!!
Hi Marina - yes you are right, you were supposed to use an existing game piece - but not to worry it is a super idea and one I might copy if you don't mind. Great to get the juices going again after a missing mojo spell.
Also remember we ask that you only enter four other challenges along with ours. Sorry but it is a brilliant make.
Hugs, Neet xx
