Challenge #22 is all about numbers. Create a card with a NUMBER in the design.
Example 1 - This is just a white base and a patterned front cut from my silhouette, with a Nuvo Drop outline. The base was created by sizing the number to 5", copying it and rotating/moving it so the tops of the 5's were touching, then welding both together. This is actually a very simple card to make and perfect for kids.

Example 2 - I used the Avery Elle Numbered Balloons stamp set, stamped and die cut then adhered to patterned paper. I added a few Nuvo Drops because it was pretty plain without them.

Example 3 - I used the Hero Arts Numbers stencil to create the background. I cut out the sentiments from the Little B Numbers and Little B sentiments dies. Each are stacked 4 high. Then sponged on the same green ink I used for the stencil. I adhered them to a vellum panel then adhered that to the background to soften it up. I also used clear Wink of Stella on the sentiments for some sparkle although you can't tell from the photo.

Now, it's your turn!

I haven't used my Wink of Stella since my red heart on the coffee cup started running everywhere on my tea card! Obviously practice is what I need. 
) that I had been saving from Shimelle's Starshine collection. My nephew and my friend's kiddo are both 9 this year so I saved both of the NINE tags for cards for them. Bonus that my nephew's fav color is orange! All random scrap leftovers - the background paper was a 2" strip I cut in half, leftover from a boy paper pad I used up. I keep some random white die cuts on my desk so I used those to add the accents. I should probably gussy it up some more, but it's good enough. I made choices based on what kids like - the dots instead of the much more elegant pattern on the back 
, and the U R because (I think) kids love that kind of thing better than a stamped "you are". 
eek!
