XOXO

I'm excited to be a guest designer for this week's sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch!  I used the sketch along with stamps and dies from The Cat's Pajamas to put together a simple love themed design in a traditional color scheme.

I started my design with a gray patterned paper panel.  After placing three narrow silver cardstock strips along the left side of the panel, I added a white oval, die cut with one of TCP's CutUps Framed Up dies over the strips.  The "xoxo" sentiment from the Conversation Hearts set was stamped on the oval in black ink.  I accented it with a pair of red stitched hearts, die cut with the CutUps Nested Hearts dies.  For a dramatic pop of color, I arranged a trio of black sequins around the sentiment panel. The finished panel was adhered to a coordinating red card base.

Materials Used:
Conversation Hearts stamp set, CutUps Nested Hearts and Framed Up dies (The Cat's Pajamas); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko); Cement Gray cardstock (My Favorite Things); Real Red cardstock (Stampin' Up!); silver cardstock (Michaels); black sequins; foam tape
