Large Birthday Sentiment

I made this card for the AAA Birthday Card Challenge using a sheet paper from a lovely Lili of the Valley 'Antebellum' paper pad which was one of the two LOTV paper pads that Di kindly sent me - thank you Di!

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Lawn Fawn 'Giant Happy Birthday to You' die
     Lili of the Valley 'Antebellum' paper 
     Snippets of purple card

I trimmed a piece of the Antebellum paper to 5.25" square and layered it onto a slightly larger square of purple card.  I die cut the sentiment from the centre of the panel, setting the pieces aside before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the sentiment twice from purple card before layering them and inlaying them into the panel, together with the small pieces of the Antebellum die cut.  To finish I attached the Antebellum sentiment, offsetting it slightly to give a shadow effect with the purple sentiment.

I am entering the following challenges:
     AAA Birthday Card Challenge - Large Sentiment
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies - November Challenge
     Happy Little Stampers Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes

That works beautifully Kath and I love the pretty paper and the purple added behind the paper letters makes them stand out well, especially offset a bit as you have done...a great birthday card. x
