Pretty Amazing

Hi and welcome!  I'm back with the latest sketch from the team at Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is the wonderful Jennifer Timko.  And here is her very cool sketch.

I went a tiny bit rogue this week and instead of having a group of elements in diagonal corners, I went with a stenciled pattern.  

I used Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral distress inks on a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Sunburst stencil by Wendy Vecchi.  I like this stencil because the sunburst pattern is quite small and worked well in the corners of the card.  

Once the stenciling was finished, I die-cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and then adhered it to a Persimmon card base.  The "you" die cut was stacked three high and the rest of the sentiment was white-embossed onto a strip of Persimmon card and die-cut with a sentiment strip die.

I tucked the banner under the loop of the 'y' to add some cohesion.  Finally, I finished with some confetti and some adorable little clear sequins that were part of a Christmas gift very kindly sent to me by a blogging friend.

I'm linking this card up to the new CAS Stencil Challenge
