You Did It

Funky. Modern. Bright. {Very bright}

I look at the get-ups my nieces wear and realize that fashion has come around, in my time. Wow. Nothing like bold neon colors, tied up t-shirts and tight tight pants to make you feel old... Nothing like meeting the oldest for the first time when she was still in diapers and has now graduated into high school to make you feel old.

It was fun to channel my young {er, very young?} years and pull out bold, bright colors and flashy patterns for this card based on this week's The Play Date Cafe combination. The layout is off of the current sketch at Skipping Stones Designs, which was also youthful and playful with its rotated panel. I decided that I needed a strong sentiment that didn't interfere greatly with the fun orange panel, so I die cut a piece of thick transparency and layered it with a sticker sentiment.  The tricky part was to figure out how to adhere this clear panel to the card...I figured I'd build up some drops of glossy accents (similar to foam squares) until they were hard and then adhere that with another drop of the glue to the card and it worked fine! I'm also going to enter this into the Papercrafts Gallery Idol First Round Auditions.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Just had a nice chat with mine and the husband is out doing what he loves best...fishing.
