The Future's So Bright...



I got an order from Sweet Stamp Shop this week.  Their images are hand drawn, simple and fun.  Their customer service is wonderful.  Shipment was super fast and there was a hand written note on the packing slip!  I just love that.  One of the sets that I got was Spectacle.  When I saw this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge - Name That Tune, my song of inspiration popped right into my head: The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades by Timbuck 3. Ah those 80's!   I ran across Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge, which I had not seen before.  I used it for my layout, and this card is the result of all of this combined inspiration.  The sentiment is computer generated, and I got perfect placement on the die cut by using yet another technique I learned on PTI's Make It Monday tutorial HERE.  I had lots of fun with this one.

Supplies:
Paper~Summer Sun, Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety.
Stamps~Sweet Stamp Shop Spectacle.
Ink~VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black.
Accessories~Nestabilities, Dimensionals, Self Adhesive Rhinestones, black embossing powder, Cuttlebug EF, PTI Double Ended Banners die.


Thank you so much for coming by and thank you always for your lovely comments and feedback.

Oh my gosh, Steph, what a perfect use for that die cut. I have to try that. The glasses and the sentiment are wonderful for it too!
