This week, Kate has us all singing to the Queen hit, We Are The Champions. She wants to inspire us to create congratulation projects while we are singing. A great Little Red Wagon challenge, right?
I decided to try my hand at making paper. I watched a couple videos and ended up with some really thick, kind of interesting looking stuff that I wasnʻt exactly happy with. However, I tried using it with a 3-D embossing folder and loved the effect. I added a bit of vintage photo distress ink, a few Frantic Stampers dies and some sequins for shine. Now I have a card for my sonʻs graduation December, 2023. His degree will be in accounting, so I thought the numbers were appropriate.
Join us this week. Head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up your Congratulations projects. While you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
Aloha,
Brenda

Oh my gosh I love this card! My son is going to school to be a math teacher and this is a great card for anyone who loves numbers. I will have to keep this in mind when I do his graduation card in a few years.
