Happy Birthday To You

I made this card with my last piece Sarn's lovely autumnal gelli print she sent me with a Playground prize last year.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Lawn Fawn 'Giant Happy Birthday to You' die
     Sarn's autumnal gelli print paper
     Snippets of thin white card and dark brown card

I attached the snippet of gelli print paper to white card to make it a little thicker and easier to die cut before trimming it to a square.  I die cut the sentiment from the centre and set the pieces aside.  The panel was layered onto a slightly larger square of dark brown card and attached to the centre of the card blank.  I die cut the sentiment three times from snippets of dark brown card.  I inlaid the first die cut and the small pieces of the gelli print into the front of the panel.  I then layered the remaining two brown sentiments with the gelli print sentiment on top.   

I am entering the following challenges:
     AAA Birthday Challenge - Bakcground Focus
     Allsorts - Autumn Colours
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
     Snippets Playground - Challenge 488

A very pretty gelli print that Sarn sent with a prize and looks fabulous on this card, and the eclipsed sentiment works brilliantly Kath. x
