First Prize

Here's my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I used the tall, skinny layout for a masculine design featuring Lawn Fawn's Best Pun Ever set.  We have Field Day at my school today, complete with an afternoon full of water relays (wish me luck!), so a design featuring a trophy seems appropriate for the day's events.  If I survive the day, I will consider it a win!

I stamped the set's trophy image on shimmery white cardstock, then used Copic markers to color the stamped image.  After cutting it out with the matching die, I adhered it to a round panel using foam tape.  I paired the image with some number patterned paper.  To coordinate with the patterned paper, I used red and gray cardstock for the layout's fishtail flag strips.  The horizontal panel was made from shiny gold paper to match the trophy.  I layered the finished image on a red card base.  I wanted to stamp a sentiment on the cardfront, but I couldn't find a place to fit it--and the number paper's definitely too busy to stamp on.  I guess it'll just have to go on the inside of the card . . .
