Today is a special day!! It is the beginning of a month long Blogaversary celebration for Jo's Scrap Shack!!
Jo has been running this challenge blog for 6 years! What a milestone! So to celebrate, some of us on the Design Team will be sharing birthday-themed projects throughout the month. I'm the first one up. I actually joined Jo's team two years ago at this time. She asked me to participate in her blog hop May of 2016 and also asked me to join the Team; it's been a fabulous 2 years. Happy Blogaversary, Jo! Here is my card for your inspiration:
I used two of my favorite Papertrey Ink stamp sets for this one: "The Sweet Life" and "Hands of Time." I heat embossed the clock face with white embossing powder and then used creamy caramel ink sponged around the image to make it pop. I die cut the clock hands out of a textured silver paper and sponged on some soot distress oxide ink to antique them up a bit. Oh, did I mention there will be prizes?? You can't have a celebration without prizes. So, make sure you head over to Jo's blog for all the details.
Supplies:
Stamps: PTI "Hands of Time" and "The Sweet Life"; Verve "Be Blessed" sentiment
Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle; PTI "The Sweet Life" and "Hands of Time"
