Birthday Moments…a limited supply challenge design…

I often make designs without images and so when I saw today’s Limited Supply Challenge, I just had to have a little fun with it. It is another busy day here and this is just a quick card squeezed in but you know… I just had to take a little break, right? 😉

Today’s LSC136 is to use patterned paper with a sentiment…no images! I paired up a few of my favorite things that I have been meaning to use and created a quick birthday design.

Birthday Moments

This stamp, A Matter of Moments from Penny Black is one of my favorites. I love quotes as sentiments…some of them are so beautiful! I also love how they did the script on this sentiment…a mix of printing and script to highlight some words. I decided to try stamping my sentiment on some acetate for a little different approach. The transparency is by My Mind’s Eye, part of their gorgeous Tres Jolie line and I cut it in half so that I could get double duty from one piece. 🙂 Because I wanted to use a very busy floral paper behind it, I painted on some white Making Memories acrylic paint on the back of the acetate after stamping and then allowed it to dry.

For my main card base, I used a 5.25″ square card made from Soft Sky cardstock. I layered it with some of my new floral K & Company paper from Michael’s and decided to keep the design layout very simple as 1… It is so pretty I didn’t want to cover it up and 2… it was plenty busy already! 😉

I decided with the clean look, I didn’t want to stitch on this design and so the problem was, how to attach the transparency to the design, with a clean look and not show the adhesive. The right side of the design was easy, I had some great stitched May Arts ribbon in perfectly coordinating colors. I adhere it with glue dots and then adhered the ribbon over top with more glue dots to keep it in place. For the left side, I added some simple embellishments… a Prima flower and a little button…both adherd with more glue dots. Gotta love those glue dots! I don’t know what I’d do without them! And voila…it was done. 🙂

Have a great weekend! Don’t forget about World Cardmaking Day tomorrow! Do you have plans?! You may want to plan to check back in here tomorrow as I’d love to celebrate with you.
