Shabby Pink Grace

Hi friends! It's Monday again already (after a fun, but exhausting vacation) and time for a brand new Mojo Monday sketch.  I got a chance to watch a few mixed media videos this weekend and was so inspired, I had to take my card in that direction.

I started with papers from the Typecast collection, distressing with black soot, pumice stone, spun sugar and vintage photo inks.  Next I added some tattered rose distress paint with a stencil and then splattered some water drops all around. Next I stamped the sentiment from the Scripture Medley 4 compilation in white on vellum and stitched to the square panel.  I roughed up all the edges with a paper distresser.

For my embellishment I chose a paper flower from the stash and lightly sponged with some watered down tattered rose distress paint.  The leaf stem was originally green and brown, but I wanted to pull in the pinks, so covered with heavy white gesso and then coated with frantage shabby pink embossing enamel.  I love the look and it's so sparkly in real life.  A bit of sponged lace and some tattered edges finish things off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the first day of our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!
