I am THRILLED and HONORED to be a part of The Challenge Design Team! It is a dream come true!
This week we have a sketch challenge for you! We can't wait to see what you create!
My niece, Sara is graduating from Indiana University this week. She is very special to me! When she was a little girl, we formed a "middle child" club. As she grew, I encouraged her to attend my Alma Mater. She did, and I am so PROUD that we share this special bond! This card is for her and I used Cream and Crimson (IU colors).
I used Very Vanilla for my base card. Cherry Cobbler DSP was used for the patterns on my card. I retired stamps set, "Word Play" was used for the sentiment. I created a mortar board out of black card stock and I made a tassel out of embroidery floss, I had in my stash. I anchored the tassel with a black brad.
Thank you for stopping by today! If you have a chance, please leave a comment. I love to hear from you!
Don't forget to stop by all of the other members of the Design Team's blogs. You will love all the inspiration!
Wishing you a wonderful week!
Claire
