I picked up the Stained Glass Die collection last year because I had an idea of using the frames just like this!



As often happens, what I planned to do and was actually created are two very different things, with the sentiment ending up in one of the frames :)




The candle from Birthday Style is selectively inked to create various heights, the balloons are inked, overlapped and inlaid into the yellow frame and the sentiment is created by combining Headline Alphabet dies with a Stylish Sentiments: Birthday stamp. Each framed piece has Wink of Stella applied for a little glitter.

I might have used the smaller frame before, but know I have never used the blue & pink frames so I am going to finally enter a card in Darnell's NBUS (never been used schtuff) challenge over at her blog djkardkreations! If, by some glitch in the interwebs, you are not familiar with Darnell and her delightful blog, you are in for a big treat.




I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday, where Anything Goes for the current challenge. All the details for this challenge are here.




Because we have a few big things going on today, I am going to schedule this post to publish early and then link to the challenges when I have time this evening.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
