CAS(E) this Sketch #294

Playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.

The sketch:




I did some partial die-cutting for the word "Celebrate". It took me three tries but I got it! :) I used some clear Wink of Stella on top of the word to make it sparkle.



The background is inked with Distress ink and then inked with the same colors on top of a star stencil. It seemed a little bare still so I added a couple embossed lines and that added just enough. I tried to do sequins but I'm terrible at figuring out where they should go and how many there should be. *rolling eyes*

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Playing along again with Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

This is the challenge sketch.

 And here is my take on it. I just received this Hero Arts Grateful Leaves set and couldn't wait to use it. I watercolored my leaves using Distress Ink.



I did some gold embossing at the top of the circle.


And one last shot.
