Sentimentally Yours

The newest Challenge at Shopping Our Stash is to create a card where the Sentiment is the Star.  Pull out those quotes or sentiment stamps or dies - or maybe look into your already stamped/printed stack and see if you have any waiting to be used (avoid stamping images ... we want the sentiment to be the star).

 

 

I started by Die Cutting my favorite large Die-Versions Happy Birthday Die Cut from a relatively solid Blue Gelli Print.

 

I attached it to a rectangle die cut from another gelli print (this one made with Pan Pastels & the Taylored Expressions Mini Slim Cable Knit Stencil).  

I realized my sentiment was slightly off center, so to help solve the balance issue, I added a Stampin' Up birthday balloon punched from a scrap of the same gelli print and tied on with some thing ribbon).  I attached it all to a light purple card base.

Break out your Sentiments and come join the fun.

Wow what a great gelli print background and great way to use a negative die cut, very tedious gluing work. Love the balloon, as I've said before, there are no mistakes only excuses to embellish. Awesome card.
