I went sorta CAS for today’s card. I stamped the chevron background from LJD Spring Backgrounds on Kraft card stock with Versamark ink to begin. On a Sweet Tooth card stock panel, I stamped the small arrows from LLD Document It – Right On Target in the challenge colors. I stamped the sentiment, from the same set with Black Licorice ink and tied around some hemp cord. I popped the panel up on foam and added some star sequins as accent.

For the inside, I simply stamped another sentiment from the set:
