Big on Birthdays really has some wonderful, large sentiments in it and one of my favourites I featured in a card I used for a Quick & Cute class recently. Because the sentiment is large enough to be the focal point and because it also features some floral embellishments with it, you can accomplish most of the card in one stamp! These are great sets to have when you are in a hurry and you want something that looks fabulous and sophisticated when you have limited time to spend! Throw in some lovely Designer Series Paper, and voila!
Take a closer look:
- I've embossed the whole sentiment/image from Big on Birthdays on Cajun Craze cardstock with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. I wasn't sure how well it would show up, but it worked really well. The copper looks amazing on the Cajun Craze. I backed that panel with Basic Black and added some 1/4" Copper Trim and Black Rhinestones.
- The background Designer Series Paper is from the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is rapidly becoming my favourite DSP of the whole Holiday Catalogue. It has such gorgeous rich, yet clean designs.
- A card base of Basic Black give the whole card a more dramatic overall tone! And it was so easy to do!
