Happy 29th!

Today is my friend's 29th birthday!  

I went to my local scrapbooking store over the weekend only to discover that they were having their annual "yard sale" where other customers can sell their old craft goodies at some smokin' deals! I picked up some 'new to me' stamps & decided to try them out- one of them was the Four Bold Message set from Hero Arts.

I put that HA stamp to use and printed out this Amber Ink digi available here:

and the inside (I didn't notice til after I stuck them down that the numbers matched just right with the background letters to make it '29th"- LOL!)

Supplies: 
- Hope, Popcorn & Wine (Amber Ink), Four Bold Messages, Fanciful Swirl Alpha (Hero Arts),
- Scallop punch (EK Success)
- Scallop border punch (Stampin' Up!)
- Ink: Distress Walnut Brown, printer ink, white gel pen
- Copics: B91, B93, E000, E21, R39, RV91, RV93, RV95, W3, W5, clear spica, multiliner
- Other: Thickers stickers (American Crafts), Glossy Accents
