Gel Press Birthday Wishes

When I saw the theme at Make My Monday was messy backgrounds, I knew one of my Gel Press prints would probably fit the bill.

I used one of my discarded prints (I had dry embossed it and it didn't really show-up) and used the Impression Obsession All-In-One Frame Ovals.  I was able to separate the ovals and make two cards.

For the first one, I used a scrap of dark red Gel Press print on my studio table.

There were touches of gold paint in the ovals, so I used a shimmery gold cardstock for my Impression Obsession Happy Birthday Word Die sentiment & the card base … perfect for the Birthday Wishes Challenge at Impression Obsession (I won last month & have already done my shopping).

For my second card, I used another gold die cut sentiment, but layered my ovals on a brighter red Gel Press print.

Love that die cuts can turn throw-aways into fun messy art.
