Double D - Sparkle and/or Shine

Dear Ones~

This time over at Double D the challenge is SPARKLE AND/OR SHINE. What a great challenge for this time of year. Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:

And here is my card:

This doesn't really reflect anything on the Mood Board, but it certainly does shine. As we all know, shiny stuff is hard to capture with a camera, but the background on this card is a Sweet Mango and white checkerboard. The Sweet Mango is done with GKD foil and it's REALLY shiny. I don't remember where I got the checkerboard pattern, but I copied it with my laser printer and then used my GKD Fuse Foiling System. The golf bag is from the GKD Hole in One stamp set. I think it might be retired. I paperpieced all the various elements to get the color. 

This was made for our son-in-law, whose birthday is coming up. He's an avid golfer and also a VERY avid Tennessee Volunteers fan. The team colors are orange and white and the checkerboard is on their logo. I had great fun making this card for him!!!
