Quick Masculine Thank You - Stampin' Up! Sweetly Scripted

   Both of my boys had birthdays in the middle of July then immediately left on a week long trip and once they got back it was full swing into getting the oldest ready for college so birthday gift thank you's kind of fell off my radar until the week before college drop off day. I had to hustle to get some cards made so they could write them out and get them in the mail.  I used a Freshly Made Sketches challenge at the time and some retired DSP that fit the "teenage boy" vibe that the cards needed to have!

  I started with a Smoky Slate base then embossed a panel of Basic White with the soon to be released Forever Plaid embossing folder (I think I'm obsessed!).  Next I cut some Basic Gray Squares and then added slightly smaller squares of Well Suited DSP.  This paper retired long ago but I've held onto it because the whole pack just works really nicely when you need some masculine patterns.

  I used the Online Exclusive, Sweetly Scripted for the sentiment and layered it across the squares with dimensionals.  A retired candy dot in what I think is Smoky Slate is added to the edge of the sentiment as the final detail.  

  I love this layout because you can use any number of color combinations and the pieces of DSP can be mixed and matched any way you'd like and it's a great way to use up smaller scraps.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
