So I used one long wide strip from Papertrey, and then I looked for a sentiment. Most of my clear Happy Birthday stamps have been cut in half so that I can separate them or colour them differently or stack them. But, I'm happy to say, that this Happy came separately from this Birthday (both Waltzingmouse), so I really did use three stamps!
The inspiration for this card came from a pair of sandals in this month's Toronto Life:
A card like this takes precision because there's nowhere to hide. Precision in measuring and placement of stamps, and full coverage in ink. I'm proud to let you know that this is only the fourth attempt (I had problems in all 3 categories)!! (and I still think that 'birthday' is a hair lower than 'happy', but I'm done! lol!)
This is my favourite card for this week, so I'm also linking it to 52 Card Pick up (Week 19) at The Old Back Porch.
Ardyth you made me laugh with your comment to my large white card with the red lip and the heart ...
