Create With Connie & Mary CCMC809

Sketch Challenge Week!

It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Connie & Mary and this is our sketch for the creative challenge this week:

I opted to use my Bee Mine Punch for the two circles on the sketch. I stamped the stripes and faces with VersaMark Ink on Designer Paper and used white embossing powder on each one:

I also added some Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the background over the Garden Walk Designer Paper. Do you like the height I added to my banner?
