Be Awesome or Else!

You heard me! LOL. I think we can all use a little reminder to be the best we can be, don't you?

I'm very excited to be guest designing at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for Challenge #87. The picture of Edna as PBS Bob cracks me up. Happy trees!

I had originally thought of using trees in my card, thus the green in various Distress Inks and Oxides, but I was really drawn to the Jackson Pollock spatters too. So I embossed the NT Topography background stamp in white--sort of spatters without the mess. I then used a hexagon coverplate to diecut that, promptly dropped it, then had to piece the hexagons like a puzzle. SUCH a Toni move, let me tell ya.

Once that was pieced together--I used Scor-tape to keep it all together, btw--I diecut it again so the awesome is outlined and inset. The other parts of the sentiment are embossed in white on black and a sprinkling of enamel dots added to draw the eye.

The Details:  Neat and Tangled Topography Stamps and Awesome Dies, Distress Oxide Peeled Paint, Cracked Pistachio, and Broken China, Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon and Mowed Lawn, Versafine Onyx Black, Versamark, Stampendous Detail White Embossing Powder, PTI Hexagon Cover Plate, Eyelet Outlet Enamel Dots
