SSS Be Strong

Hey everyone!  I've got another card today using some of the most recent additions to the Simon Says Stamp lineup.  

First off, the Tin Tile stencil.  It really is one of those perfect background designs.  I was thinking about the fact that while I often spread paste on my kraft cardstock and on white for a tone on tone neutral effect, I rarely use stencil paste on colored cardstock.  I really should more often because I just love the crisp look of the white on dark blue.

After letting the panel dry, I started playing with some different elements.

I thought that this Tattered Leaves die would pair well with the background, and to add a bit of bling and shine to my card, I cut it both in Gold Matte as well as white cardstock.

The sentiment is from the Well Wishes set and was embossed with gold and then die cut.  

My two leaves were loosely adhered to one another and then to my panel, and the sentiment was popped up with foam tape.

To add some sparkle and a pop of color, I added a few sequins.

That's all for me today, hope you are having a lovely week!
