April challenge

Good afternoon, I hope you are having a fab holiday, it being Good Friday Bank Holiday in the UK.

Today sees a new monthly challenge over at STAMPlorations. This month we would like to see your projects on the theme of -

Here is my card for your inspiration.

and a closeup of the raised numbers.

For my card I used the rose from the Boxed Blooms set but  masked off the frame before stamping and layering. I covered the bits I didn't want with masking tape, inked the stamp then removed the tape before stamping on the card.  I used masks to create the bunch effect and coloured the blooms and leaves with Copics, stamping the sentiments from the Bold Sentiment Happy set. 

I cut the 40 out of the coloured image, and other numbers out of white card. I glued the white numbers on the top half of the panel trimming off the excess then gluing the top panel onto a white base card. 

I die cut some extra 4 and 0s in black then glued one into the space left by the diecuts on the rose and replacing the tiny bits from the middle of the original image. I then stacked up 2 more layers then the original rose die cuts.
