Vintage Mojo Monday 117

Hot off the press is today's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO117) plus a couple sneak peeks from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini  and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs (available Jan. 5).  As my focal point, I used a splashy stencil from Vintage Ornaments II, found in the Definitively Decorative Catalog.  I plan to use the Vintage Ornaments I & II stencils to decorate gift bags and wrapping paper for the holidays.  Very chic in Chocolate and Kraft (got this color combo from the catalog)!

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

• The ornament stencil was sponged with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. 
• I then layered the star patterned stencil on top and used a sponge dauber to layer Platinum Shimmer Paint.  The dauber fits neatly in the cap of the paint for easy use.
• To isolate and color the top of the ornament, I used a Sticky Note as my mask.
• Occasions Mini Sneak Peek:  Check out the texture created using the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot.  Amazing on the Brushed Silver card stock.
• A little faux stitching gives a jazzy accent. 
• Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek:  The beautiful border was created with the Scallop Trim Border Punch (in the new SU design--see below).  This punch will be a Sale-A-Bration gift with qualifying orders beginning Jan. 5.
