Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend!
It's time for our latest edition of the Timeless Tuesday challenge! Cindy is our hostess this week and her challenge is simple and fun…..Frame it!

I needed a card for my only nephew's college graduation that is coming up this weekend. I wanted it to be somewhat reserved and sophisticated, but I also wanted it to have at least a touch of whimsy.

I first embossed a layer of kraft cardstock, sponged the edges with some Frayed Burlap ink. and added it to the kraft card base. I die cut another kraft layer using my Perfectly Pierced Victorian Oval die and sponged the edges of that too. Another oval layer was cut from Flourishes classic ivory cardstock and I stamped my sentiment from the Inside & Out Congrats stamp set in Memento Teal Zeal and Love Letter. I also stamped the frame from the Flowers and Frames set and colored it with markers from these Copic collections:

I cut 3 fishtail banners from some Collectable Unforgettable 6x6 patterned paper and added them using some foam mounting tape, after adding a few red brads for the touch of whimsy and pizazz! That completed my card!
I had a little fun finishing the inside too.

The layout I used is from this week's retrosketches #59:
