Since it is nearing the end of the year and Brett and I are both working at the school, I am sure we will have some graduation parties to attend. Our newest challenge at ATCAS uses our school colors, so I thought it was the perfect time to whip up some quick and easy Congratulations cards!
Work of Art is my FAVORITE go-to stamp set for a quick background. This swoosh looks gorgeous stamped in the Gold Encore Ink. I am so sad that it is retiring from the catalog! I hope they give us a new gold ink, because I love the luxurious feel it has. I just recently purchased the refill for my Black Memento ink pad, and MAN did it ever make a difference! The words really pop over the top of the gold. Before I reinked it, it was almost a grey. I need to remember to do this to all of my ink pads for more vibrant colors!
Thanks for stamping by today. Make sure to check out the rest of the cards our talented design team have created for your viewing pleasure!
Great sentiment and a fab card! Rebecca x

ReplyDeleteIt has been fantastic and an honor to be the April guest designer. I have always found loads of awesome CAS inspiration with ATCAS. Thank you :-)
Shana, great idea to color the background gold and then have that bold sentiment on top. Fabuylous card
