Happy Fat Tuesday!
I haven't had my faschnaut yet today (if you don't know what one is, google it - yum!) but I had a lite lunch in expectation of having one or 2 tonight!!
Day 7 of Papertrey Ink's 11th Anniversary Party has challenged us to make a card using ONLY dies - NO stamps... So here we go:
In my mind, this project was just 'meh' for me... but once I got creating, some awesome things started coming together. I am grateful that we had to think outside of stamps to bring our projects to life. I've got lots going on here...
I used the recently-released
Confetti Mix & Match die set by Papertrey - These are my new favorite dies for a quick go-to cut to establish depth on a card. The 3-die-set produced the scalloped mat edge, the embossed crepe-paper-effect border, and the white confetti middle (I detached that die and cut out on a different color for more pop).
I embossed my card base with a pattern that helped pull some of those little confetti bits closer to the outside.
I then added some clear 'confetti' (sequins) to 2 opposite corners for some 3D 'popping'. I wanted it to add emphasis to the angle of the sentiment, so I chose the 2 corners in that line of sight.
My sentiment is the
Big Basics: Wish Big Die, also from Papertrey - I substituted black sequins for the 'i' dots.
The very top of my card didn't pick up the embossing, so I finished it off with a thin strip of black glitter washi tape - I love how it accents the color of the sentiment.
Have I inspired you?
Come play along - there's still time to enter for your chance at some big prizes!
