CAS(E) This Sketch 309

I'll admit that the challenge this week at CAS(E) This Sketch had me troubled when I first saw it.  I had a few design ideas floating around in my head but none that I really liked.  Then, as I was perusing my stash, I came across this cover up die and thought that I could use all those angles to replicate the shapes of the challenge.

Although not exact, the cutouts on the background die gave me some room to add colors in the approximate shape of the banners in the upper and lower corners of the sketch.  The other die cuts replicate the small diamonds across the middle but I added the YOU die cut overlaid with a birthday sentiment to reinforce that design.

I am also playing along with the die cut challenge at Happy Little Stampers and the color challenge at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!  And please check out the amazing cards from the design team at CAS(E) This Sketch for some amazing inspiration.  I hope you'll join us in the gallery!
