Today I wanted to share a gift I put together for Alex's girlfriend, Ashley. They have been dating for almost a year now and she is such a sweet girl who makes a wonderful addition to our family. She is heading off to live in the dorms at college this weekend and I wanted to give her some goodies for her new pad.
I knew she would be writing to friends back home so I wanted to make her a a note card set. I started off with my FAVORITE
Hero Arts Background Stamp....
...then I stamped it on watercolor paper with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I applied Broken China, Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the image and sprayed it heavily with pearlized water. Here are the final results...
I just love the blues and greens together....
I thought I would also show the gift bag I put together for her along with her card set...
Inside this cute Thirty One bag are lots of goodies...
like bags of candy, a wall calendar, mini sodas, Uno cards, tissues, a flashlight, and earplugs. (All the things her mom emailed about saying she still needed.)
Okay, off to make dinner. Thanks for stopping by!
