Big Birthday Wishes

I managed to get a bit of crafting time this afternoon, so made this quick card for a friend's birthday using lots of snippets.


To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes' die
     Snippets of white matt card, kraft card, white paper and pink patterned paper

I trimmed a snippet of white card to 6" x 4" and die cut the sentiment from the centre before attaching it to the card blank.  I cut two narrow strips of kraft card and attached them down each side.  The pink paper was layered onto a snippet of white paper so it was the same thickness as the die cut letters in the front of the panel.  After die cutting 'BIG' I inlaid the letters into the panel and then used some tiny snippets of kraft card to cut the rest of the sentiment and inlaid the letters.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Just Us Girls - Color Week (kraft, pink and white)
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes

What a fabulous CAS card Kath. Great design with super use of snippets and as ever, perfectly made!

I suspect the pink paper is leftovers from an Annabelle's Meadow paper pack/pad - one of my favourites!

Hugs

This makes a bold statement with the very large sentiment Kath, and the strips of kraft card down the sides give it the perfect frame...a great card. x
