Farewell to a Friend

The card is for a fabulous colleague who has decided to pursue other opportunities - it is always sad when such talent goes to other pastures but I know our paths will cross again (the world of marketing analytics is actually quite small).  Best wishes, Ashleigh!


Love using black and white with a pop of another color.  I'm trying to clear out some old embellishments and I had a very large collection of these aqua and white flowers - perfect pairing with black!  The button in the middle is also REALLY old - a have a whole set of neon animal print buttons that I think I have used twice - so one more down, 20+ more to go HA HA.  I added two ribbons that had also been in my stash for ages - both animal print, one in black/white and one aqua/white.  These sit atop white cardstock embossed with a QuicKutz (Lifestyle Crafts) folder.  Sketch is based on Viva la Verve Jan wk 2 sketch.  The sentiment is embossed with aqua embossing powder and that sits atop a piece I applied glitter to (I NEVER use glitter but in an attempt to use what I have and to fit in with Use It Tuesday's Make it Sparkle challenge....)

Challenges include Hiding in My Craft Room #79 (Black & White + 1), Pile It On (also Black & White + 1), Simon Says Stamps (Black & White + splash),  Little Scrap Pieces (Anything Goes), Party Time Tuesday (Sparkle Glitter and Shine), Card Makin' Mamas (Anything Goes), MyGrafico (Anything Goes), Use It Tuesday (Make it Sparkle), Shopping Our Stash (Use Old Buttons), and Viva la Verve.
