STB - #330 One or more Numbers

Cathy is the host for the next two weeks and she has chosen Numbers! 

Use One or More. 

Thanks Cathy for a great Birthday Challenge. 

I had an idea of what I wanted to create, but went to Pinterest to see more. There I found the card that I wanted to make exactly. To my surprise, it was one of my teammates at Seize the Birthday who did it. 

I will give Jules the credit and I didn't much improve it. 

Crafted by Jules: Age is only a number

I loved this so much that I just CASE it. 

Here is my card

I cut up so many numbers from scratch paper that I card make lots of cards with numbers. 

Supplies are:

MFT numbers die

Computer generated sentiment in the center

Embossing Folder From Sizzix Happy Birthday

Gina K Sentiment from So Many Sentiment stamp

If you are not using the topping, please make it a Birthday Theme

Remember if you use the topping, you may get a chance to be our next guest designer. 

It is so easy to use the topping on this challenge I hope to see lots. 

Please stop over at the blog and take a look at what the team has done for this challenge.

Guest designer at Color Hues!

I’m excited to share that I was one of the winners of the #TCH133 Challenge.  🎉

As a result, I’ve been invited to be the Guest Designer for the next challenge #135, which is such an honor. I’m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to share my project.  

          

     

When I saw these two colors, my first thought was bees. From there, my imagination kept going, and I decided to expand on that idea. Bees make honey, so honey became the inspiration behind my project and the direction I chose for my creation. 

Although I don't have a lot of stamps and dies here, I was lucky enough to have two that I used.

Supplies : 

Gina K Designs White and Black Card stock

Altenew 3D embossing folder Dotty Circles, with ink brushed over some areas

I used two stamp and die set from different company's.

Colorado Craft Honey Jar

The Greetery Honey Jar

Distressed ink mustard seed (dripping honey)

Gina K Skeleton Leaves ( bees wings)

Black Nuvo Drops for the middle of the flowers

Glitter for bees wings

Glossy accents

Want to know how I got the dripping honey? 

I put mustard seed ink on my glass top, then mixed in some glossy accents.

I used a small que tip to put a blob of that mixture on a silicone mat, and then drag it down for the look of a drip. I let that dry over night and then adhered the drip to my card 

The inside. 

I hope that I have motivated you to enter this challenge and I would enjoy seeing you here.
