It's all about YOU!

Hello!   Hope you are having a blessed day!

It's been awhile since I used the black/pink/white color combo, though I really like it! 

Stamps: Artful Inkables sentiment.

Papers: SU! cs, scraps of dp & script vellum

Other: Nesties, Kaisercraft bling, seam binding

button/floss, vellum, Sparklettes fine glitter.

I had made this card for a DT challenge this week and I forgot to add the needed elements, then I noticed I attached the script vellum upside down AND backwards, so I thought I would share it with you today!  haha  Stuff Happens!

I did have fun making it though and getting iridescent glitter everywhere! haha   Each of the kiddos has an assigned room/area in the house to clean.  My oldest son has the pleasure of cleaning around my craft area, he comments that we must be the only family in the world to have glittery dust bunnies....somehow I don't believe that to be true!  Would you agree???  lol

Have yourself a lovely day!
Blessings!

Congratulations...off to college.

This card was made for a wonderful friend's son who was recently accepted into his choice college!

Very fast card to make, but I think it turned out quite nice and "manly"!

You can't see it clearly but there is a black layer between the gray DP and the red layer, also irl the silver on the black paper has a sheen.

Only a few more years until I send a teen son off to college..........we'll work on getting a license first, that's scary enough
