Catherine Pooler ~ You're Such a Blessing

Happy Wednesday!  Today I'm sharing a fun card using my latest sketches for Splitcoaststampers.

It's my turn for a sketch this week and here's what I've created for you... SC921:

The cross hatched pattern could be achieved in so many ways:

1. Create a grid with your scoring tool.
2. Adhere squares or diamonds of paper in this pattern.
3. Use a patterned paper that has a criss-crossed pattern like a plaid or gingham!
   
4. Or use a die that makes the pattern.

I happen to own a die that created that pattern.  It's called the "Cross Your X's Cover Plate Die" by Catherine Pooler.  It was a perfect starting point of this card!  I tucked a gold embossed panel underneath using the retired "Love Note Background" stamp set also from CP.

I die cut a rectangle from the "Scallops & Dots Dies" and embossed my sentiment from the "Fall Finds" stamp set!  I also stamped a variety of the leaves from the same stamp set in a blend of Autumn inspired ink colors: Whipped Honey, Orange Peel, Match, Spruce and Daydream.

I added a little gold thread to the back of the sentiment area and adhered it with some foam tape.

A few golden "Oak City Sequins" to finish of the card and I love how it turned out!

I hope you'll check out my sketch and come and play along!

Happy crafting!
