Good Luck in KU colors

     I had a student teacher for the past 8 weeks, as well as another co-worker on my team.  Both ladies are going to Kutztown University in Pennsylvania.  Friday was their last day with us, as they are moving on to another placement.

     We had a little party for the ladies - cake, cupcakes, stories, and of course, homemade cards:

     Kutztown Univeristy's colors are maroon and gold, so I used Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard.  I never thought I'd like these two colors combined together, but I really like how they look together!

     I wanted the cards to be the same, but not exactly the same.  Below are better close-ups of each card.  The only difference between the two cards are the rounded (or non-rounded) corners.

     On the inside of both cards I used the same stamp.  I thought this stamp was perfect for these cards.
