CAS(E) this Sketch...You are Amazing

I've made a card for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch!  Here's my card and the sketch... 

I used the sweet new Simon Says Stamp stamp/die set You Matter, along with their stitched Square dies for today's card. 
I soooo wanted a pink, orange, black theme...but if you haven't found that out yet, things sometimes have a way of changing!!  Oh...how many colors I tried.   I even TRIED gray, but neither black nor gray were quite right.  With a black "YOU",  both the black and gray blended in to much...didn't allow the die cut sentiment to stand out...so the black square became yellow...
I loved Donna's card this week, so I felt as though I was in great company with these three colors!    I layered and glossy accented the "You" and added a cut up sentiment atop the stamped background.  Here's a close up...
Love this You Matter set!!...and the wonderful sketch this week, to use it with!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

  11. Love this card. So perfect for so many people to receive. Can I ask you what color/ink you used for the background stamp? I am still looking for that “perfect” gray that is mellow yet doesn’t take over the decor on the card. Thank you so much in advance.
