Barbara is our hostess this week and she is giving us some very elegant colors to work with, with a dessert option of stripes. Aqua's are my Darling Granddaughter's favorite colors, so knew right away I was going to do a card for her of some kind. She is graduating from college in May, so a graduation card it is.
I pulled out long retired SU Brushed Silver for my card base and image mat. I attached my long retired SU striped vellum to WW and attached to my card base. I stamped my image, colored with the Blends and Silver gel pen before matting and popping it up. Last I added some silver pearls. Fancy Dancy for my favorite, and only, Granddaugher!!!! Now to see what everyone else brings to this week's challenge. Come along and play with us please!!! TFL.
