Hello, friends! Design Team member, Sandhya here with a fresh pair of cards to share. The gorgeous new Vintage Sentiment dies pair beautifully with the foiled pattern papers. I chose to pair the two and added some vellum foliage for added dimension.

I started with the gorgeous foiled pattern papers from the Glimmering Gladiola 6X6 paper pack. I picked the peach and purple colored papers and trimmed them down to make smaller panels. Next, I cut out mats for these panels with coordinating cardstock from my stash. I die-cut the Vintage sentiment words out of the center area of these panels before attaching the pattern paper to them.

Then I went on to die cut the shadow layer for the sentiment dies out of white cardstock and assembled the sentiments. I used plenty of foam tape to attach the matted panels to white card bases. Before attaching the sentiment, I decided to add more dimension and movement. So I die cut some vellum leaves using the Lush Leaves Contour Layers Die set and the Oval Leaf Branches Die set.
Finally, I attached the foliage and sentiment die-cuts to the cards and finished off with a few clear drop embellishments.
