This is for my post over on the ODBD blog. With all the graduations and graduation parties beginning, the May Graduation Sets from ODBD are just perfect. I love the calligraphy and inspiring words and the this bridge scene from For the Graduate is absolutely wonderful. I see many, many uses in its future!
For my Bridge to a Future card, I stamped the scene twice on ivory card stock with pigment ink and heat set. I added just a hint of color to the horizon to reinforce the dawning of a new future over the bridge to be crossed. I used a Spellbinders lg rectangle to emboss the edges and put the two together to extend my scene a little to fit my 4" x 7" ivory card. I added a layer of mint green textured card stock behind it and part of a wide lattice punch. It's attached to a piece from the Basic Grey Nook & Pantry collection, then to an ivory card.
I stamped the inspirational verse on ivory using a rainbow pad I made with chalk inks. (It's simply a blank Kaleidacolor pad and I added the ink colors with reinkers.) It was die cut with a Spellbinders Labels 4 die, left the die in place and sponged on a little ink. I made a backing for it out of more of the lattice punched ivory and added two strips of the cut off loop edge on the top and bottom.The pale peach flourishes are from the Spellbinders Fancy Tags die.
Thanks so much for looking!
