Make the Most

Hi friends!  It's Monday again and time for a brand new Mojo Monday sketch.  And since it's the first sketch of a new month, it's also contest week, with a chance to win a prize for playing along!



My card was inspired by Teresa's Dare to Get Dirty challenge over on Splitcoast.  They're hosting fun challenges all week long for members of the SCS Fan Club.  I pulled out some vintage Verve for this card, in honor of our 8 year Anni-VERVE-sary.  This quote from the Seeing Stars set has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember.

I did a bunch of distressing on all the panels with pumice stone and black soot inks.  The green layer is embossed with a stars embossing folder and I sanded it to make it pop a bit.  I stamped the stars randomly around the sentiment and then grabbed a bit of peeled paint distress ink with a water brush and brushed it on.  Next I covered with glossy glaze and added some glitter.  The star is cut with the Starry Die  and I embossed it with that same embossing folder.  The trim is cut with the Scalloped Trim Trio Die Set.  I added some stars to my banner piece with some black molding paste and a stencil, then finished off with a paper distresser on my outer layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a fabulous start to your week.  Be sure to head on over to the Mojo Monday blog for all the contest deets and to see what the Mojo Makers created with this sketch.
