Scripty Birthday

Hello again!! It’s time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. This week the challenge is

Anything Goes

We are showcasing Spellbinders Products this week. If you have any of these products, we’d love to see them used, but it’s certainly not a requirement to join the challenge.

As always, the generous folks at Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $25 voucher to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store. You can enter 5 times which means you can make 5 different projects following this week’s prompt and have 5 chances to win a shopping spree!! Sounds like a win/win to me!! I’ve linked all of the supplies that I used at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I started out with a piece of A2 sized Bristol Smooth Card Stock and I ink blended one of my favorite color combinations which is Dried Marigold and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Inks. I used those same colors with a fan brush to splatter some color onto my background. I added a little White Gouache to the splatter as well.

To layer over the top of my ink blended background, I die cut the Whirl Diamond Plate die out of white card stock and I love how beautiful it looks against my background.

I die cut the Grand Corner Leaves die using this lovely paper pack by Echo Park called Our Baby Girl to give my sentiment it’s own backdrop and then I moved onto the sentiment.

I stamped the Happy on a scrap piece of white card stock using the Saltwater Taffy D.O. ink and I trimmed it down to the size I wanted. The Birthday die is from Spellbinders and it’s called Yana’s Layered Script Sentiments die. I LOVE these dies. It comes with a “Happy” and a “Thanks” scripty die as well, plus they each have a shadow die. And they do layer quite nicely. I kept the “Birthday” sentiment in white. It really was the best option.
