SSS, Take Note and Layered Alphas

Super quick card today.  I pulled out my Layered Alpha stencils and inked them up using Marine, Cadette, and Royal.

The panel was trimmed down to create a horizontal piece for my card.  I love how it really just looks like a piece of patterned paper.

I added a black mat to set it off, and then adhered it over a turquoise mat on my card.  Originally I was going to leave it perfectly horizontal, but then thought it would be fun to tilt it a bit.

The sentiment is from the Take Note stamp set.  It was stamped with Versafine and then fussy cut to look like die cutting because I have somehow misplaced the coordinating dies.....if you could see the state of my crafting space you would understand....

I added a secondary sentiment, also from the Take Note set just below it, embossed in white on some black cardstock. 

The sentiment pieces were popped up with foam adhesive as well.

I thought about adding some sequins, but decided this would probably go to a guy and so decided to leave it on the plainer side.

This was super quick and easy and since the Layered Alphas stencil set has four rows of letters, you could easily get two cards in one go.
