Looking for Graduation inspiration? You're in luck, because today's Bloggers Challenge Theme is Graduation, just in time for the start of Graduation parties! I've got a couple graduations to attend this summer, so I know I'll need a few creative ideas for the cards I'm giving.
For my card, I'm using some "new to me" creative tools! This past week I added to my embossing folders by purchasing a bunch of the new
Texture Fades Folders created by Tim Holtz for Sizzix. I used the Notebook Folder on White card stock, punched the edges with the Spiral Punch, added some highlights with Old Paper Distress Ink, then distressed the edges with the Distrezz-it-All. The main image and sentiment are from
Our Daily Bread Designs As You Graduate set. For the main panel, I used the Antique Glimmers Technique then distressed the edges, layering on a Black distressed panel. I added a few butterflies from Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Wings Embosslit along with some Black Gems as embellishments. The inside of the card reads "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God", this sentiment is same ODBD set.
Details:
Stamps - Our Daily Bread Designs
Ink - Black, Distress Ink Old Paper
Card Stock - Black, White, So Saffron
Other - Black Gems, Glue Dots, Spiral Punch, Distrezz-it-All, Lemon Glimmer Mist, Craft Mat, Dimensionals

Love what you've done with the texture plate here Lisa, it looks great! I had seen them but wasn't sure how to make them look good, you've just shown me! Can I ask what make your spiral punch is? It goes so well with that plate. Love the butterflies, actually I love your whole card, it's fab! :o)
I not only love the outside -- the notebook page is fabulous -- but the sentiment is absolutely perfect! I may have to steal it to just write it into some of my cards!
