I used a masking technique to cover half of the card and I started by applying Blush, Hazelnut and Mountain Mist Crisp Dye Inks with a sponge dauber over the stencil. Then I repeated the sponging at the other side to create a chevron pattern.

For the sentiment I used Fine Alphabet Die Set and white cardstock covered with Gold String Washi Tape. I die cut the sentiment three times and stacked the letters together for a dimension.
