My niece celebrated her 17th birthday on Monday. She is adorable, sweet and full of energy. Since I have two sons I have always enjoyed getting to make something fun (and pink) for my goddaughters.
As a 17 year old she is a fashionista ,so I wanted to create a card very on trend. Chevrons continue to be on trend so out came several tools and stamps to create my card.
The base of the card is Strawberry Slush and I used the Chevron Textured Embossing Folder. It gives the card great texture. Then I took the chevron from the Work of Art stamp set and using Elegant Eggplant inked up the stamp only once yet continued stamping it to get the Ombre effect.
Then I took the Amazing Birthday Stamp Set and went to town with the colors. If you follow my blog you know I love green and purple together. It seemed the perfect color to mix with Strawberry Slush.
I had fun with the inside of the card as well.
I stamped the sentiment on Whisper White in Elegant Eggplant and then stamped it on scraps in Old Olive and Strawberry Slush. I fuzzy cut the those elements I wanted to add from the scraps. Super cute don't think?
On a personal note I could not be more excited, Pierce is coming home today!!! His first quarter is over and he is heading home. I know he is just as excited to be heading home. There is something magical about the first time you come home from college. I remember the first time Conor came home. The energy was pure excitement.
Stop by this weekend I have a fun project to share that was done by one of my colleagues at work. Super cute idea for a quick and inexpensive little holiday gift for someone.
