Sentiments are the bomb

Good morning, We are covered in snow and temps are below freezing so staying inside to keep warm, what better excuse for hiding away in my craft room!

There is a new challenge starting over at Arty Divas and the sponsor this challenge are a great stamp company, The Project Bin.
I have a whole set on sentiments to use so I decided to make 2 cards:

 

What I did:

For the first card I used a 4.25 x 5.5in card base and matted it with some bright yellow design paper. I then used a sunburst die to cut the sun and it's rays.I placed a gem in the center of this for extra shine! I then stamped the Project Bin sentiment on white card and matted this with the same yellow I had used for my sun burst. This was the placed on foam tape to give dimension.

The second card was also a 4.25 x 5.5in white card base which I matted in purple. I then cut a 1.5in strip of vellum and stamped the sentiment using embossing ink. I then heat embossed using dark purple embossing powder. This was the wrapped around some floral design paper. I didn't have gems in the correct purple so i colored the ones used with an alcohol marker.
