OK, are you tired of seeing this die yet? Seriously, this is the last one using it as a cover plate. Now those unused letters, on the other hand...I have ideas, so stay tuned.
My inspiration for this one came from a sentiment from my Hallmark Connections software:
"You already have the birthday -- this wishes you the happy!" That immediately got me thinking about inlaying just the occurrences of the word HAPPY.
I had a cut piece of dark blue on my desk, along with a nice blue shimmer cardstock. The latter seemed a little bland as the the base of the die cut, but looked nice under the dark blue. Plus, it really allowed the red inlaid HAPPYs to shine (no pun intended).
I also decided to make this a larger card so that I could offset it with a gold mat and a textured white base.
Hope this series of cards provides some inspiration for someone out there who is looking for a versatile, but easy to use die to build up that birthday card stash.
