The Paper Players #104 - Wordsmith Happy Birthday!


LeAnne has a fabulous challenge this week:-


I was totally inspired by LeAnne's awesome design last week, which featured diagonal sentiment stamping.  So I have really put my sentiment to work on this card, using it as both the main element & the background:-


I've kept the layout really clean & simple, using only skinny mats & a single rhinestone to embellish my card.  The sentiment panel is popped up on dimensionals.

To get the tonal graduation in the stamping, I used the trusty stampamajig & four shades of blue ink.  I alternated lines of stamping in a solid colour with lines of stamping that had the bottom half of the sentiment inked in the next darkest colour.

We hope you can play along with us this week.  Make sure you visit all the team for some fabulous inspiration:-
