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.

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
