Big Purple

Several sets I have contain extremely large words. While I like the words, it's hard to do "different" things with them when you stick to CAS (and don't own the coordinating dies...or a die cut machine to use them on!). But I like how this one turned out.


The bling looks purple in real life...a perfect match for the reddish-purple amethyst ink, actually, but in the photo they look black. Weird. Anyway, I love the way the spiky branches work with the word birthday and the contrast with the flow of the cursive happy.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Supplies
stamps: Papertrey Embellished Elegance
ink: Ancient Page amethyst, Hero Arts soft olive (I think)
paper: Papertrey white
accessories: rhinestones

    Thank you so much for making this card. I often feel when I use a large happy that the birthday has to follow underneath it to the right. Usually the loopy p's and y don't make this possible or pleasing to my eye. Thank you for shifting my perspective.

    It's a lovely card. I'd be interested to know how you finish the inside of your cards, please, or do you leave them blank? Thanks

    Oh my!
    Isn't it amazing how your eye just fills in what you know or expect?!
    I had to go back to the card to see the BIRTHDAY above the Happy
    How clever, Susan, as per usual!
    Love this card and thanks for your inspiration.

    Yes, I also love the 'spiky' things around the swirl.
