Welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is….Large Sentiment!
This is the first stamp set that came to mind when I saw the theme “Large Sentiment”: Happiest of Birthdays!
I heat embossed the sentiment in White Stampin’ Powder and used Blending Brushes to add the color.
I cropped the sentiment using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. (OOOPS, SORRY, they are NOT RETIRING).
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 11″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
Distress the edges with a Bone Folder.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 3 3/4 x 5.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool.
Add color with Blending Brushes and the following Classic Stampin’ Pads:
Pacific Point
Bermuda Bay
Coastal Cabana
Petal Pink
Magenta Madness
Flick water from a Water Painter. Allow to sit for 30 seconds. Dab dry with a Paper towel.
Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine along with the largest Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
Distress the edges with a Bone Folder. Adhere the edging with Stampin’ Seal.
Adhere the sentiment to the card base with doubled-up Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with Clear Epoxy Droplets.

Love this Stesha! I made a failed attempt at a sponged background yesterday, I might just have to give it more practice as your sponged background is perfect! OXO
This was the first sentiment I thought about for this hop – I’m glad I changed because I couldn’t have made something this beautiful. I adore how you’ve distressed the card – perfection. ♥
Gorgeous card Stesha, love the background it’s so pretty x
Wow Stesha what a great way to showcase a large sentiment and that blended background is perfection
