Okay, so I'm a little happier with this picture after messing around with my camera settings a bit on the auto setting. Here is my take on the Mojo Monday sketch. I used a flourish instead of a ribbon on the bottom because it's for a nephew and I thought the flourish worked better.
My Stampabilities image was colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I stamped the image twice and cut out the one I colored and popped it with dimensionals. Both DPs are shiny; the argyle is by Reminisce and the star pattern is by Creative Imaginations. I also used some shiny silver, cream and white paper from my stash. The black linen is from Archivers. I used my argyle CB folder to emboss the black strip across the middle. I cut the flourish from a Sizzix die, and the sentiment circles from a CB alphabet die set. The sentiment and stamped stars are from Studio G. I used some Diamond Glaze on the stars to make them shiny. Finally, I added some Petite Pearls brads by Bazzill.
I think I like this sketch and will have another go at it in the future. Thanks to the Mojo team for the sketch and the inspiration!
