Morning People - sentiment focal, Cosmic Shimmer, 3-D embossing

My card today features Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, 3-D embossing from Crafter's Companion decorated with Cosmic Shimmer.

Putting It Together

Opposites are attractive, or something *smirk* I used a very pretty background for my negative sentiment.

For this project, I used a background I made a few days ago as part of a post on using 3-D embossing and rub/paste type stuff. Check out the post for more information: Backgrounds, part 2.

I sized my sentiment with a Spellbinders die which also gave me a feel for how big my sentiment panel would be.

I die cut an oval for the sentiment from Recollections cardstock and matting from a DCWV Glittery pad. The tinsel ribbon I bought on a whim when it was on clearance at Micheals last Christmas (or was it the one before that) fit perfectly when I dry fit everything together.

No one will see the centre of the matte. Since I will want to have glittery to use later, I cut out the middle which will be hidden by the embossed panel.

I adhered the matte as a frame on the back.

On the front, you can't tell if it covers the whole back or just the edges.

I adhered everything to a white card base, popping up the sentiment with foam mounting tape.

Inside, I stamped the positive solution to the sentiment on the front.
