Dare 2B Artzy Friday

Hi everyone! Well it is Friday and I am now in Chicago watching my son graduate from Navy Boot Camp!! I can't believe how fast these last 8 weeks went! For my son I can't say the same, I think he felt these 8 weeks would never end. :) I just hope he gets to experience life in a fabulous way.  BTW, if you were awesome enough to send a card to him, he and I both THANK YOU - the encouragement was really appreciated.

Meanwhile for today's Dare 2B Artzy card I am using one of the new sets Cindy sent me, [thanks Cindy!]  Thinking of You and entering this card into the Colour Q 186 challenge and the Muse #14 Challenge. 


This is Virginia Lu's - The Muse :)
I love the hot colors with this retro feeling image

I just had to play with another set from Dare 2B Artzy; Retro Pattern 1.  I found this inspiration on [my friend] Pinterest;












This is the card I am giving my son for his graduation [I think I made like 4 :)].  I totally adore the graphic feel of this card!!



Thanks for stopping by~
