Awesome!!!

Awesome.  I got to thinking....it's the heat okay!!!   Actually its because a young man in a stationery shop said "awesome" when I paid for my stamping card.  I got to wondering, was that truly an awesome experience or is it a word we use for anything these days.   It's a word that rolls off the tongue to describe a cup of coffee, a slice of pizza,  a t-shirt hanging in a shop window or even gets used instead of thank you.

What it actually means according to the dictionary is something that inspires awe.  Awe is a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder.  I'm pretty sure the young man was not inspired by awe at the sight of my white card or my eftpos card.  He just used it instead of saying thank you.  How the english language transforms???

Okay so all that said,  I was inspired to create a card using the "awesome" die from Frantic Stamper Inc.  A card I could give to any number of people that are awesome in the true sense of the word.

I also used the cute little puzzle piece die that when cut can interlock with itself.  Clever...or maybe awesome!!!  I die cut the word from my puzzle strip plus as additional four from card stock and stacked them up,  adding a coat of glossy accents for some dimension. To add some lift I die cut a scalloped border  in red.  Made a little tag to say "you are" and added a cute little owl and a few finishing sequins.  

Here are the Frantic Stamper Inc products I used
