Hey everyone! It's time for another great challenge over at Inkspirational! This time we've got a word prompt for you. The word is, "Pop"!
I have to admit I had some trouble with this one. I kept thinking of pop as in the drink. I have no stamps related to this at all so I needed to come up with something else. This was harder than it should have been! But this is what I came up with...
I decided to go with a pop of colour. I did an inlay die technique here which I've only ever done one time before. I used these number dies that I won a couple of years ago (and I have no idea who they are by) and die cut them from black cardstock. Then I die cut the 8 from a bright blue cardstock. I inlaid everything on my card base and glued it all down. I stamped my sentiment (STAMPlorations) and embossed it in white. I outlined the black inlaid numbers with a white gel pen for a little extra "pop". Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella to my blue 8. This will make a fun birthday card for a girl or boy turning 8. I'm sure my son will be going to birthday party soon where he'll need a card. He just recently turned 8. Crazy how time flies by!

I would not have thought to add a pop of color... I keep thinking, "balloon." Terrific card, and creative thinking!
ReplyDeleteThis pop of colour is just perfect for the word prompt, Kim! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the challenge! The pen adds a lot of interest. This really turned out fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Kim! Love that you outlined the black numbers in white!
ReplyDeleteClever idea and that figure 8 really does pop. Great card for either gender.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea this is for a numbered birthday card! And so perfectly made.

Fun card! The blue '8' really stands out and makes such a cool statement! Thanks so much for joining us at Fusion Card Challenge.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to know that you and I had exactly the same trouble with this challenge. I too kept thinking about popping a bottle and had absolutely no stamps or dies relating to this. But we don't let that stop us, do we!! LOL
