Words Of Beauty Because I Love You FMS718

Happy Monday everyone! Today I'm sharing a quick card using Amy's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches:

   

Amy's sketch is actually perfect for one of my forthcoming Design Team commitments, which I will share with you in due course, but obviously not in time to play along over at Freshly Made Sketches. It's also great to showcase/use up some designer paper, so I decided I would create another card pairing a little 'old and new' for a quick card so that I could play along, so along with some retired From The Heart designer paper that features 3 of the colours on the Color Dare palette I set to work - take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I wanted to play with the new-to-me online exclusive sentiment bundle, Words of Beauty, and take a look at how the diecut sentiments layer. There are three dies for both the words 'just' and 'because' and I thought one might fit the stamped word (which it does) and the other two create a layered diecut; in actual fact you can use all three to layer for a bold sentiment as you can see more closely below:

 

I heat-embossed the remainder of the sentiment onto my Real Red card base, added a trio of sparkly gems and voila - I sweet card to send to someone I love!

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

This is a perfect way to use this pretty dsp! And I love the sentiment, which I will now have to look at in the catalog again because I didn't see the triple layering opportunity the first time. Thanks for pointing that out! It's always a treat to see you in the FMS gallery, Joanne!
