My youngest is moving out of home in a couple of weeks. Yes, the timing is not great and I don't want her to leave, but we're not going to stop her as she is craving independence. So, on the day she moves out, I'll give her this card:
Apologies for the poor photography - I think my camera focused on the silver and dulled everything else. The card base is white and I added a strip of black embossed with the Weathered Embossing Folder. I die-cut another white panel as well as some silver cardstock with a stitched border die and used foam tape beind the panel to pop it up.
I stamped some stars and the first part of the sentiment onto this panel and then used a silver die-cut with the black shadow and called it done.
Thanks for visiting. The design team have some wonderful cards so I hope you'll check them out.

ReplyDeleteThis N&T set is perfect for a masculine card, and I love that you chose it for both boys :) I also love the silver alphas and that you embossed the black panel for texture...a really fabulous take on the sketch, as always, Karren!
