I wanted to make some graduation cards but didn't have any specific 'graduation' stamps. I found my sentiments in my Happy Harmony hostess set. I used two stamps and colored in 'Dream' on one, and 'Big' on the other to create what I needed.
The card is very similar. I changed the colors to a brown tone. The ribbon is from the Martha Stewart line. I used brads from my Vintage Brads set (SU). The main image is highlighted with my Sakura pen and white gel pen. I highlighted areas of the doodle image in the white gel pen also. I used my ticket corner punch for the sentiment.
The inside of the card reads:
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.
---- Henry David Thoreau
Happy Graduation!
