I have realised that I really like these Big and Bold sentiment stamps from Winnie and Walter. The large words have such a super flourish which is contrasted so well by the plain type of the smaller words.
The Paper Players' challenge this time is all about sentiments so I thought this would be fine for that.
The little butterfly is a new Memory Box acquisition and the flourish stamp is an old one from Stampin' Up.
For this card I began with this rather elaborate sketch from Seize the Birthday and tried to make it CAS. I was inspired by Hannelie's DT example on their blog.
I have rotated the sketch and made it mostly white. The base layer is cut three times with a Memory box border die. The sentiment panel is an adapted Dienamics pierced die and the heart from Lil Inkers.
The sentiment is from another set in the Big and Bold series from Winnie and Walter. The tiny tag is from Lili of the Valley!
