Just a quick post to share a card I made for a friend who has left her current job. I volunteered for the organization for many years, chairing a committee for seven year where she was the staff support. Over those years, we've become good friends, and I created this card for her with a note inside to celebrate her many accomplishments.
The card design is a CASE of several cards I found on Pinterest. I started by die cutting strips of colorful papers with The Stamp Market 1/4 inch Quick Strips, and adhering them diagonally in the center of the card.
I die cut the glasses from Concord & 9th's Spectacular Shades from glossy black cardstock. I added some acetate behing the lenses (hard to see in the photo, but it adds a bit of realism to the glasses.) I added the panel to a cardbase made from Concord & 9th's Marmelade.
This is off to the current TicTacToe Challenge where I used the right hand column: Layers, Stripes, Bright Colors.
