A shining light

Morning crafty peeps :0).....Its the weekend and the weather is going to be hot and sunny so hopefully you've found your factor 50 by now and put the woolly hat and gloves away for a good few months...there, that'll bring about a change this week!!!

My share today over at Make the Day Special blog is an encouragement card for my super talented girl Hannah who has started her A levels this week along with many other 17/18 yr olds. Not that she needs a lot of encouragement because she's very disciplined at getting her study time in and has a brain like a sponge to soak up all the facts and figures she needs to know but it's just great to let her know we care and think she's amazing :0)

This is the first time I've inked up the lighbulb from this set and because it's a solid image, I decided I would emboss it with clear powder for a bkgd pattern and then again on yellow card and use the emboss resist technique to ink the surround in black.
I love the shine with the embossed images and it also means I can have a yellow bulb on black card!!! ...... you'd never get that with yellow embossing powder on dark card :0)

The sentiment from Lunar lights fitted perfectly and then inside I carried on the sentiment with a Lawn Fawn alphabet...

All that embossing on the front means it will fit nicely in at the Lawnscaping challenge this week too...... it's almost like I planned it *wink*

Next week will we be Hannah's final week at school apart from going in to sit exams and collecting results in August, I can't believe that era has come to an end! She hopes to go to Bath University and study Psychology in the autumn rather than take a year out, but she has a couple of overseas trips planned for the summer including an adventure to New Zealand on her own to visit family and friends..... and what an adventure that will be considering France is the furthest she's been!!

I have a feeling this summer will be a busy one :0)

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a lovely sunny weekend!
