Happy Birthday to You

When Sarn sent my prize from the Snippets Playground she also included a piece of her autumnal gelli print which I've used to make this card - thank you Sarn!

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 brown card

I trimmed a piece of the gelli print paper to a 5" square and layered it onto a slightly larger square of dark brown 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 from dark brown card and inlaid it into the panel, together with the small pieces of the gelli print die cut.  To finish I attached the gelli print sentiment, offsetting it slightly to give a shadow effect with the brown sentiment.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies - Anything Goes
     Happy Little Stampers Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes
     Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes

What a pretty card and I love the gelli print piece which Sarn sent, and used beautifully with the large sentiment die cut into the piece, and the brown behind really makes it pop Kath. x
