w&w 4th Birthday Bash | Four Challenge with Shay

challengeb

Hello fellow party goers!  It's Shay here.  I am so excited to bring you my challenge.  To commemorate our 4th birthday I am following up on my One Challenge from our first year and Two Challenge from our second year and Three Challenge from last year.  This year it is the Four Challenge!

>>>CHALLENGE DETAILS<<<

Make a new project using the number 4 or four, four colors, four patterns, four layers, four embellishments, four photos, four words or four stamp sets (and so on)...really anyway to incorporate four into your project!  You can focus on a single option or combine the options (for instance a four layer card using four colors + four embellishments).

>>>MY PROJECT<<<

I began with a background I had created some time ago using mixed medium and distress ink along with Scenery: Classic Diagonal Creative Screenings.  When I have a little time to play I create backgrounds and I find having some background panels sitting awaiting me whenever I need them really a great jumping off point and time saver.

I pulled out 4 colors (first use of the number 4) from the background and cut In a Word: Happy Cutaway from each of the cardstock colors so I have 4 happy's (4 again).  I adhered the four happy's to the background panel.  I also cut out the handwritten "happy" from In a Word: Happy Coordinating Cutaways from the 4 same colors and adhered 2 of them to fill in some of the space on the background.  Next I cut out the birthday tile from In a Word: Birthday Tiles Cutaways 3 times out of white cardstock with the last not cutting the "birthday" all the way through.  I glued the fully cutout tiles on top of the one that did not cut out fully.  I adhered the birthday tile to the panel.  Then I filled in the open area of the "birthday" with Nuvo Crystal Drops for some shine and interest.

Last I added 3 greenish enamel dots to the top panel and 3 purple enamel dots to the bottom of the panel and added a white puffy star to the white panel so that there are 4 embellishments on top including the white star and 4 embellishments on the bottom of the card including the white star (4 again!)
