Heart 2 Heart Challenges Design Team Project - Write-on/Wipe-off Birthday Countdown

I created this project for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge Design Team assignment to use a stamp set that hasn't seen ink.   Fortunately for me, I had the PERFECT set sitting on my desk - our new "Rock the Block" promotion!  At the bottom of this post I'll have all the information on how you can get this E size set PLUS a set of our new Collage Cubes for just $15! 

This fabulous and fun stamp set was perfect for creating a reusable write-on/wipe-off birthday countdown 12x12" for my daughter's upcoming birthday!  Here is the project under the glass of my 12x12" frame showing the area to write the daily countdown.

and here is a shot of the project without the glass to eliminate any photo glare....

I used lots of techniques on this baby - spraying the background with a mix of Pearl Paint and re-inker, heat embossing, hand-tinting with a blender pen, tone-on-tone stamping, layering off-set letters, making scalloped pinwheels, ruffling ribbon and more! 

Rock the Block Promotion:  Available through January 31, 2012!
