CAS(E) This Sketch! #76 + ColourQ #241 + Simon Says

If you are like me, a little pile of die cuts can build up on your desk. Every now & then I'll challenge myself to use a couple on the next card I make, so this card started with a brown cardstock "you" die cut and aqua TE chevron cutting plate.

I used CAS(E) This Sketch #76 and Colour Q Challenge #241 to help pull it altogether.






I trimmed down a piece of the cover plate and ran scraps of white and turquoise cardstock through the Big Kick to get a few pieces to inlay. Swiping the Delicata Gold ink pad over some of the white pieces gave me the gold I needed.




After playing around with a couple of options, a second "you" die cut was colored with the Delicata Gold and layered on the brown die cut, offsetting it slightly. A few dots and sequins finish this one off.

This card is also being entered in the Die Crazy Challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog.

    Funny you mentioned the die cuts as I was just trying to corral all of mine yesterday. I need to take on a challenge to use them like you did!

  10. Wonderful card, Jacquie! I always have extra die cut hanging around, but your card is so "put together" it's hard to believe it wasn't designed from scratch :-)
