Two Birds . . . One Card.

Today's card was made with two challenges in mind.  The CAS.ology Week 129 - NBUS Challenge which calls for 'something new to you, and the Craft Stamper - Take It Make It January Challenge - 'Take A Stamp', which calls for us to make a card that has to incorporate the use of a stamp or stamps.

The stamp I used was one that I bought a while back but never got round to using, hence the NBUS - Darnell's acronym for Never Before Used Schtuff - so it was the ideal thing to use for both of the challenges and here is the card.





The stamp I used was My Favorite Things 'Spotlight Sentiments' and the inspiration was a card I saw a while back, that I think was made by one of the MFT team, sorry, but I forget where and who, but if I find it again, I will link to it.

 Supplies used:

My Favorite Things, 'Spotlight Sentiments' stamps and My Favorite Things, 'Blueprints 18' dies set.

American Crafts, Textured cardstock and Wink Of Stella, Clear.

 Thank you for taking the time to visit today and I appreciate all your comments and will reciprocate.  Hazel x

    This is so striking. Love how you repeated that sentiment and highlighted just the one. Perfect stamping, too. Great use of angles as well. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.

    Clever use of that single stamp and turning it into a bigger motif. Love the CAS look of your card too. x

    That is a great design for a card and I love the awesome birthday card you've made using it, Hazel! It's also great that it can be given to either a man or a woman, which is a bonus. I know you've reached your max entries at my challenge, but you can feel free to link again for fun. I really appreciate that you've played in the CASology challenge! It's been such fun to be Guest Designer this week!! Hugs, Darnell

    Hey Hazel!! I love your birthday card. I love how you repeated the sentiment at the bottom of the card, leaving the top of your card with plenty of "white" space. Nicely done. Thanks for playing along with us this week at CASology.
