About this card:
A solid black and white card would be expected. Now we all know at RIC you have to kick it up a notch. That's just what the DT and contestants do. Soooo...I am always finding myself being pushed to create something our fearless leader Jen would be proud of. And you SERIOUSLY don't want to miss Virginia's card this time!
The chevron patterned paper was a gift from my pal Marcy for my birthday. thanks friend.

And speaking of Jen...she was lovely enough to send me an original piece of artwork for my birthday which I promptly hung in the guest room :)
Isn't it beautiful? There is a little touch of gold glitter in it. Kinda feels like it was made just for me :) Thank you Jen.
I am so jealous of your beautiful artwork by Jen! It looks gorgeous! You already know how much I love your trendy awesome card!
