Just Us Girls # 477 - Word Week

Vicki is our host this week at Just Us Girls and she has chosen a word that should fill our gallery.

I spent way more time on my card that I usually do but once I had the idea in my head I had to keep going.  It's all part of using neglected stamps.

First I wanted to do a text background with the sentiments from the MFT Stay Tuned set.  It takes a while and some practice to get those laid out correctly.  For once it wasn't MISTI but my trusty old Fiskars press to the rescue.  There was a mis-stamp near the top so I cut another piece of the Fog paper and stamped the sentiment in Red which I think worked out even better design-wise.  I couldn't just pop the TV on so I cut 4 layers putting the sentiment on the bottom and then adding acetate between the middle two. It looks great IRL.  This must be a rescue card because I knew I wanted the sentiment to say "It's Your Birthday".  Typing it into Evernote brought up the perfect one by EBE.

Please check out the birthday cards the rest of the Design Team and our guest designer, Greta Hess, have made.  We hope they inspire you to make a card for the challenge.
