Tonight I needed a birthday card, and after looking through my saved challenge, I had an idea … however, I told my husband that the odds were that it would take at least two attempts to create my card.
Iwas close … it actually took eight tries. I've said it before, Clean & Simple designs are the hardest because there is no where to hide your mistakes (which in this case included failed stamping, crooked stamping, off-center stamping, finger prints & smudges).
My idea started with the One Layer Card Mini-Challenge at the Hero Arts Blog. I also wanted to combine it with the Playing Favorites Challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
One thing I've always loved about Hero Arts is that they make the most awesome sentiment sets. This card uses four stamps from my favorite … It's Your Day (together with two from Glow Girl and one from Find Joy).
Then when I saw this week's CASology Challenge was Neon, this card idea was born … I used Hero Arts Neon Orange, Green & Pink together with India Ink.
I'm also joining the Let's Get Wordy Challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges … since this card is all about how to feature words.
I love the multiple sentiments! Powerful impact of the neon!
