The Deconstructed Sketch No. 168

Hello there!

Welcome to this week's edition of The Deconstructed Sketch!

Jen has once again created a super fun sketch for us. This one is so cool, and involves the option for stenciling, embossing paste, or something fun like that!

My card this week is for my best friend's birthday. We are celebrating all week long at the World Famous Pendleton Round-up Rodeo! Yay!

I used some of the awesome goodies from My Favorite Things' birthday-themed July release: LJD Celebrate You stamp set and Die-namics, Balloon Stax Die-namics, and Birthday Chalkboard Greetings stamp set. I used a Teresa Collins stencil and Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks {Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers} for the background. The little gold accents on the packages are just pieces of the same glitter paper I used for the balloon. I just punched them out with my Crop-a-dile, and glued them on! :)

Here is the list of the other DT members so you can see how they were inspired by this week's sketch:

• Arielle Gordon
• Cresta Woodruff
• Jen Shults
• Kim O'Connell
• Sheri Gilson
• Tammy Hershberger 
• Tangii Crain 
• Tracey Pickersgill 

I hope you are inspired to give this fabulous sketch a try. If you want to play along with us at The Deconstructed Sketch this week, the linky tool and details are over on Jen's blog!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!
