It was fun to create the backgrounds but I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them.
And then I thought about pairing them up with the new word Die-namics.
For the Wish card, I trimmed the panel down and die cut the WISH from the center.
I also cut the word from silver glitter card stock. After adhering tape behind the negative
space, I inlaid the silver letters in the respective spaces. I adhered the piece to a Stone
Gray card base and silver embossed the second part of the sentiment.
I did the exact same thing with the Big Birthday sentiment on a blue/green background.
I contemplated adding sequins or silver stars, but since the alcohol ink backgrounds
