Every knows how Eclipse Cards are the biggest rage right now. I even posted two of them in the last couple of weeks. I decided that a backwards Eclipse Card might be just as nice. Normally, you stamp the entire background of a piece of cardstock and then cut out the letters and layer them back using Dimensionals. This time I cut the letters from Large Letters in a plain piece of Whisper White cardstock and then stamped the letters using the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp set. The colors I used were Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Lemon Lime Twist and Daffodil Delight. Then I pieced the letters back into the piece of Whisper White cardstock that I originally cut the letters out of using Stampin’ Dimentionals. I love the Eclipse Cards but I love this backwards card too.
The “Happy” sentiment is from Happy Birthday Gorgeous. I used the stamp that says Happy Birthday but I covered the “Birthday” with tape, inked the stamp and them removed the tape so only the “Happy” was stamped.

Susan this is just wonderful. I love your technique and what a happy card this is.

You are the most clever!! The beautiful colors and stamped letters, the way you increased the use of your stamps by “omitting,” and the way you got “birthday” on the front are just a few of the things I love about this card.
