When I first saw the sketch I gulped, because me and angled panels are not friends, but in the end I wasn't too unhappy with how this turned out. I used several Blueprints dies on this card - for the angled panel, for the stars and for the banners at the bottom.
Looking at the photo, I now wish I had lowered the word "celebrate" and had it connect with the star. I did try and detach the word die, but it was stuck down and not moving! Oh well, live and learn 😄
The word die as well as the stars are coated with clear sparkle pen and the two smaller stars are also coated with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.
When I cut the two top panels, there were no stitched lines, so I used my Stitched Basic Edges die to add some stitches. Because this die adds stitches on either side of the stitched line, there was a sliver of stitching left over. Rather than throw this away, I adhered it to the patterned paper as an additional feature.
Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful cards Karren and I love how you used that thin sliver of stitched card to add to the patterned paper. It works perfectly.
I think your 'Celebrate' die cut looks perfect right where it is (we are so much alike) and I love that you chose these pink and white gingham papers for this card! Beautiful color combo, too...Great job combining challenges, Karren!
Great colors and design, Karren! I love how you used your extra stitching on the inside - it's a great detail. You and angles did great together!
You rocked both the sketch and the throwdown colors! Lovely card! Thanks so much for joining us this week!
