"Just us Girls Watercooler" challenge

Stefanie has designed a wonderful sketch for the watercooler.  I needed a Father's Day or Graduation card for this month's card buffet, so I combined her sketch with the colors from the inspiration photo at Just Us Girls (for some reason my fingers type gurls every time - argh!):

stamp set: Something to Say, World Map; ink - Calypso Coral, Pool Party; card stock - Naturals Vanilla, Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Whisper White; seam binding ribbon - Soft Sky

I had a bit of a brain malfunction, using Soft Sky ribbon and Pool Party card stock and ink, but before I realized that, I did it again:

stamp set: Delightful Dozen (retired), World Map; ink - Calypso Coral, Pool Party; card stock - Naturals Vanilla, Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Whisper White; seam binding ribbon - Soft Sky

I wish I'd thought to photograph the insides - the congratulations card says "now go change the world" and the father's day card says "I think the world of you"  (I just think I'm so clever)  ;)

When I thought up the post title, a watercooler just for girls sounded like it might be fun, but then I gave it a bit more thought.  In real life, it would just be dumb, except for something like the occasional "girls night out".  Even  for those, it's fun to let the guys tag along now and then.

Hi Kathe, I love the way you talk about your brain malfunctioning with the Pool Party cardstock and Soft Sky ribbon. Isn't it a good thing that they compliment each other so well. It looks as if you meant to have the slight contrast. I love both cards and think what you stamped inside goes beautifully with the greetings and, of course, the map on the outside. Thanks so much for joining the Watercooler Challenge this time.
