A friend of mine's daughter is getting initiated soon and asked me to help her out with a couple cards! One is for her daughter and the other her big sis. I am really pleased with how they turned out. Their sorority colors are red and hunter green....so needless to say I wasn't really inspired to work with those. They attend Kansas State and the University colors are purple and silver. This was a much more appealing color palette for me...although I'm a University of Kansas Jayhawk fan and my wardrobe is red and blue!!!! I hope the girls like them!Supply List

Love the purple & silver, but am a red & blue fan like you. Regardless, the cards are beautiful. I bet the girls will love them.
