Here's to summer on its way! This was a really hard card to photograph, but the gold shimmer is like the golden hour of sunset. This layout is from the Freshly Made Sketches #681 challenge ending today.
My Favorite Things - Palm tree die
Sizzix - Vacation Words Block die
Stampin' Up! - Banner die
Patterned Paper
Sequins
Gold card stock
I covered the front of my A2 card base with gold card stock. Then I die cut a banner from a white panel to have a negative-shape version of the sketch. I cut another banner out of shiny palm tree patterned paper. The white panel is popped up on foam tape and the banner is adhered flush to the card front. (I wanted the gold to show around the edges of the banner through the opening in the white panel.) I added the die cut palm and sentiment and they float over the opening in the white panel. A couple of sea-colored sequins for color and it was done!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is fabulous! I love the negative cut for the tag, and the gold palm trees (large and small) make for a wonderful design!
I love your use of the sketch! With the big golden palm and the little ones inside the banner - it's perfect for a "relax" card! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
What a fantastic take on this sketch, Carol! Well done!
Thanks Karen!
