Mojo Monday 448-Teachers Count

Happy Monday!  It's time for a new Mojo Monday sketch.  A kindergarten teacher that I've worked with for years has won a district-wide award and I made this to give to her at the celebration on Friday afternoon.  I think the message from Verve's Teachers Count set is perfect for the occasion!

I made a chalkboard style panel for the sentiment by cutting out a square frame from kraft cardstock, then filling it in with a dark gray panel.  The sentiment was stamped in white pigment ink, then heat embossed in white for a chalk-like look.  I added the panel to a pink card base that I covered with a piece of number patterned paper and a coordinating piece of pink cardstock set on an angle.  The sentiment is accented with a pair of apples made with the set's apple images and cut with the matching Apples dies.
