I used the retired stamp set, Starburst Sayings and the Starblast Dies from Stampin Up. I also used stitched rectangle dies, an oval die, and a fishtail banner die (for the bottom layer). I think its such a nice stamp set and there are many beautiful cards using this one. I stamped the sentiment using Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. And I used the Thoughtful Banners stamp set to convert this to a graduation card. I used DSP from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit (Feb 2017), and cut some banners and adhered those to the bottom portion on the base layer according to the sketch. I used some 1/4" white grosgrain ribbon and also made a bow. For the second layer I die cut that with a rectangle die, and then die cut and oval from the center and then used Stampin' Up! Layering Ovals to get the white scalloped frame. I cut a white starburst using the Starblast dies and used a circle to cut the sentiment. Finally, I added some silver sequins. I may change the graduation sentiment but the card is actually very pretty in person! Thanks for Looking.

Your skill at adding multiple layers that are cohesive and add to your card design is an amazing skill of which I am totally in awe! Love, love, love this festive and gorgeous graduation card!
