Celebrate - Times Two: OLW65

Hello, friends!  Still playing along with the current One Layer Wednesday Challenge #65: Sentiment-a-Mania in which we have to make a card with the sentiment as the main focus.  I made two similar cards today (using all Hero Arts stamps) -- one for a boy and one for a girl.

 
For both cards, I embossed the retired Hero Arts Great Celebrate (H3362) in white.  Next, I masked the top and bottom of the card with large Post-It notes and inked with distress inks.

For the girl card, I inked with Spun Sugar and then overstamped the Flourish Background using Soft Rose shadow ink.  I removed the masks and rounded the corners to finish.



For the boy version, I inked with Broken China, then overstamped the Flourish Background with Weathered Wood distress ink.  Again, I removed the masks and rounded the corners to finish.


I was happy to play with this large sentiment...I don't use it nearly enough.  I figured it worked well for this challenge since it is the main focus of the card!

Thanks for stopping by!
