Thursday Challenge - CCMC804

This Thursday Challenge is a color combination and I thought the coneflowers (Echinacea) in Inspirational Sketches would be perfect in these colors. What? You didn't notice this stamp set on page 65 of the mini? It has three greetings, an adorable little bird, these flowers, a group of mushrooms and some scribbled sketches.

I used the scribbles to stamp the background in Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist, both stamped off for a lighter tone.

The third largest Thoughtful Expressions scalloped die fit around the flowers perfectly, so of course I had to use the label die in that set for the greeting. A Sweet Sorbet Metallic Ribbon bow added a little glitz.

Exciting New Journey!

Our daughter has been a high school teacher for fifteen years, and during that time has continued her education, including two Masters degrees - one in Education and Learning, and one in Mathematics Education. She is a year away from receiving her PhD in Leadership with a Mathematics Specialization (busy writing her dissertation now). She was just offered, and accepted, a position as a Mathematics Professor at a private college! No more dealing with smelly, mouthy teenagers, lol.

Needless to say, we are so very proud of her. Her love of learning and love of teaching were evident from a very early age. I remember her lining up her stuffed animals and dolls and playing school when she was very young, and it warms my heart to see her following her passion and excelling at it!

I made this card for her using the new Everyday Details bundle coming January 4th, along with an embossing folder from Sale-A-Bration. Her favorite colors are green and yellow, so.... Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green along with Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight were the chosen colors.
