There's No Place Like Home

Here's my card for the current SugarPea Designs Sugar Sketch Challenge.  I flipped the layout on its side to showcase the fabulous Home die cut.

I used the inlaid die cutting technique on an aqua cardstock panel.  The negative space was filled in with a pale gray die cut.  I stamped the "there's no place like" sentiment from the companion Sweet Sentiments-Home set just above the word in gray pigment ink. 

After rounding the panel's corner, I adhered it to a pale gray cardstock panel over a piece of heart patterned paper.  I tucked a pair of coordinating fishtail flag strips underneath the bottom of the die cut panel, then added a small sun, fashioned from more die cut pieces, to the top.  The finished panel was adhered to an aqua card base.
