The latest challenge theme at Shopping our Stash (where a bunch of my Snarky Sisters are on the DT) is Tax Man: use numbers on your project. Since I needed a birthday card, this seemed a perfect opportunity to join in.
Lots of numbers here, on both the patterned paper and the clock stamp that I embossed in gold before sponging the background with distress inks. I didn't have quite the sentiment I wanted in stamp form, so turned to the computer to make my own. And it all seems very pleasant until you get to the inside sentiment...
I was nice enough not to specify the actual number. ;) To limit the number of layers on the inside, I edged the patterned paper with marker instead of matting it with black, as I did on the front.
Did you notice how I mentioned The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers back at the beginning of this post? The current challenge, Q is for Queen, ends tomorrow at midnight -- why not join us? All you need is a project that has a crown or bling. Our next challenge starts bright and early on Saturday!
Supplies: white, black & Stampin' Up Naturals ivory cardstock, Echo Park Lime Twist Fly a Kite patterned paper, Hero Arts Time to Stamp, Versamark, bundled sage & peeled paint inks, pirate's gold embossing powder, Spellbinders Page Maps Potpourri die, black Sharpie, pop dot tape
Pin It Now!

LOL about the sentiment. The embossed clocks are GORGEOUS!
I really like this, Lindsey. Your clocks and numbers are meshed perfectly and your sentiment is brilliant.
Have a Happy Easter.

OMG! I just love this card! Love the gold embossed clocks, but by far the best part of your card is that snarky sentiment on the inside!!
Wow!! I really like this one. Haven't seen you post in awhile and now I know why...you were working trying to come up with the BEST birthday sentiment. You did!! Wish I'd thought of it for a friend that is turning 70 this year. Great job!!
SUPER card! The clocks are beautiful, and you pulled off adding a layer of patterned paper which I could never do. Also, the home-made sentiments look quite professional!
Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
