Now I know what you might be thinking - how in the world will I add a number to my card? You can find many fun ways - here's just one of them:
Pretty tricky, eh? See what I did here? used numbers TWO ways!
this sentiment is from The Stamp Market's Kindness Matters set -
I'm giving it an 11!
Also, a fun trick to use some of that gorgeous, patterned paper
I save - oh, you all do it so don't think you're keeping that secret!
This pretty bloom is an Altenew Craft-a-Flower Poppy that I've cut
from a few more of those sweet Honey Bee papers.
The die that cuts all of these numerals is no longer available -
but The Cat's Pajamas provided it. You'll be seeing the cutouts next time!
Make sure you visit The Flower Challenge team members, and our wonderful guest, Kailash! They've all made beautiful cards with lots of ways to use numbers on your cards - so no excuses! I'll be COUNTING on you to fill our gallery with your loveliness - lol!

ReplyDeleteFantastic in every way! I have way too many paper pads (was frustrated by the piles yesterday), but darn if I don't want to add another pretty one to the stash. Michele, thank you for all the inspiration and delight you provide with your creativity!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to add numbers, Michele! I must say I was rather stumped with this one. I'm loving the poppy in patterned paper and will have to try that myself.
