So, I've had this sheet of paper in one of my paper packs for a while, and really questioned how one was supposed to use it. Then I realized that it would be a perfect background piece for a quick and easy card that has a lot of visual interest! So, I trimmed it down, added a little bit of a border along the bottom to help lengthen the piece where it was just a little too short due to where I had to cut it off. I added the die cut "fabulous" (die cut and layered three times for dimension), a little piece of a second sentiment and some matching sequins to finish everything off. Quick and easy and quite pretty if you ask me!
Stamps: MFT "Essential Sentiments"

Your card looks gorgeous, Heather. The big, bold sentiment die is the perfect choice for this patterned paper and I love how you inked it with the ombre effect!
