I originally made this card for the inspiration challenge based on this plate http://www.kirklands.com/catalog/sea...arger&x=17&y=7 but it also works for the CAS sketch challenge today. The bg is made by stamping with acrylic blocks of varying size. The hemp is distressed and sponged with Early Espresso, the sentiment is stamped onto a recycled cardboard piece mounted over crinkled, sponged Early Espresso. Starting from the outer edge, the charger piece has a faux glaze that I created by sponging very vanilla onto Early Espresso, then Soft Suede. The next circle is Sahara Sand that I embossed with a Texturz plate then sponged from the center with Early Espresso and around the edges with Soft Suede. The Early Espresso piece is a punched circle where I added embossed dots around the edge using my crop-a-dial. The innermost piece is an image stamped in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake. I used the Versamarker to add two layers of gold embossing accents. I then smooshed Versarmark over all the pieces and embossed with clear ep.

Don't you just love making a card where smooshed is in the instructions ... love that acrylic block stamped background ... what a fantastic inspired design.
