Join us! It is DIE week at Just Us Girls. I am your host, and I am challenging you to make a card using SENTIMENT dies.
Usually, I gravitate toward inlay dies, but this die looked so interesting. I loved the shapes, textures, and color possibilities. I chose a subtle rainbow palette and die-cut six A2 panels with the shape dies. Fortunately, Concord & 9th included multiples of each shape to speed up die-cutting. An embossing cover plate is also included in the set. I embossed six white card bases. The embossing provides a guideline for where to place the shapes. Alone, the coverplate would make a great background as well. Usually, I line the background panels with 4.25" Scortape, then reinsert all the small pieces...a simple process for inlay. However, this panel requires each piece to be glued and mounted on the base. Easy, but a very different process than inlay.
I chose to add gems to each set of four circles. I love a bit of sparkle. The layered sentiment (die cuts from two different sets) made the backgrounds a birthday greeting.
