You Rock

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I went clean and classic with black, red, and stars.

I built the design on a black card base with a red panel adhered to the top. The "you rock" sentiment from the Lil' Inker Designs Seriously Awesome stamp set was stamped near the bottom of the card base in gold ink, then heat embossed in gold to pop out from the background.  I used LID's Stitched Stars dies to cut stars from gold paper and a craft foam sheet.  After layering the die cuts, I arranged them on the cardfront.  A few gold sequins were scattered around the stars for a final touch of sparkle and shine.

Materials Used:
Seriously Awesome stamp set, stitched stars dies (Lil' Inker Designs); Delicata Golden Glitz ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Real Red and Basic Black cardstock (Stampin' Up!); gold embossing powder (American Crafts); gold sequins; craft foam
