Birthday Cross

Don't throw away your negative or left-over pieces from your die cuts. This gold oval was a left-over piece from the Heirlooms Frames & Dies. I have held on to it for months, and finally decided to use it today. I think it is a perfect background for my Smoky Slate cross. Thoughts?

First, I die cut the Smoky Slate Cross, using the Cross of Hope Framelits.

I then adhered it to a left-over Gold Foil Paper oval from my stash. It was the center from the Heirlooms Frames & Dies that I used on another card. If you do not have this die set, you can use the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. 

Next, I stamped and punched out the sentiment, using Gorgeous Grape ink, the Classic Label Punch, and a scrap of Basic White card-stock.

I then assembled the card:

   I adhered the the two Crushed Curry strips of DSP and the Gorgeous Grape Simply Marbleous DSP onto a Basic White panel.

   This panel was then adhered to a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Smoky Slate card front.

   Next, I adhered the Gold Foil oval with the Smoky Slate Cross onto the upper-center of the card.

   I added the sentiment below it and adhered a pearl on each end of the sentiment.

   Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
