Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge #176

This week's Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge was tough.  It has a lot of layers in unusual shapes.  I struggled to "see" the end result so I kept cutting papers and trying them out.   Here is the sketch challenge layout:

I love this pattern from the Seasons of Style DSP yet I have struggled using it.  The Baked Brown Sugar stretch ribbon and the Cherry Cobbler Regal Collection Candy Dots pull the entire card together. Without those finishing touches it looked like a card with an identify crisis due to all the different shapes.
