It's not often that I have a card to share for three different challenges, but tonight I do! While we're away a good friend is celebrating an very special birthday. We'll be missing the party, but we'll be toasting to his big day later in our trip.
The new challenge at Seize the Birthday is "Just a Number." At AAA Birthday it's "Use a Stencil," and at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge it's "Stamp It." This card meets all three:
I used two Simon Says stamp sets, "Birthday Numbers" and "Party Like a Panda" and a bit of masking to stamp the number and the balloons onto watercolor paper. It's harder to see in this photo, but after watercoloring the numbers and balloons, I used a My Favorite Things cloud stencil to add some interest to the background. It's a bit easier to see in this photo:
Finally I die cut the panel W+9's Gift Card Layers die and adhered it to a bright green card made from PTI's New Leaf cardstock.
It's a pretty whimsical card for a guy, but the recipient is one lighthearted, fun-loving guy, so I think he'll like it.
