40 something

I just finished (I think) a big project at work. I have three more major projects to get completed in the next two weeks as well as a bunch of personal things too. Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it. :) So, we'll just move on to fun things which includes stamping. :)

Here is the third card from my February card class. This  card features Big Celebrations from A Muse Studio. I LOVE these giant numbers!!!

I experimented with 50 something, 90 something, the Big 40 and more while putting the design together. So many possibilities!!! I can't wait to make some fun one year old and two year old and three year old cards and more! It's hard to tell in this picture but there are stars stamped in pistachio on the pistachio cardstock to give a watermark effect. The base cardstock and the "40 something" are in grape - isn't that color yummy?! And, the contrast cardstock is grapefruit. Pistachio, grape and grapefruit. Great color combo! Don't you agree? And, can you see how the pistachio piece sparkles? I sprayed stardust finishing spray over the top of the stamped piece and then layered it on. The signo white gel pen was used to make the little dots and a twinkle sticker finished off the card. It's a simple card that packs a punch when delivering that special birthday greeting!
