Over the weekend I spotted this little piece of fabulousness made by the awesomely talented Galina for Waffle Flower. I loved the technique of switching the inlaid pieces to create a fun look, and then this idea jumped into my head!
As always, you learn as you go along and I'd do a few things differently if I made another version of this card. I created a background with Distress Inks, sprayed with water and then sprayed with water and splashed around a little gold paint. I moved around the numbers (Number It! from Mama Elephant) and added a sweet little sentiment bar (Labelled Messages also from Mama Elephant) before sticking everything in place. Three teeny, tiny gems in pink, green and amber finished the card.
I'd been wanting to play along at Seize the Birthday, but Mrs. Molly Mojo wasn't playing ball until this idea had me rushing for my inks and stamps. The sentiment is the focal on my card... Honest!
Happy crafting, everyone.

Beautiful card, love the vibrant colours.
Jo you have me stumped with this fabulous card! If you didn't cut those numbers BEFORE coloring, how did you get the numbers to be different than the base?? OH you are a clever girl!

Super idea, I have to try this myself. Fabulous card!
