Follow Your Dreams

This is the card I made for my daughter when she graduated 8th grade this year. She is NOT fond of flowers (gasp!) so I had to go a different route...She loved it.

I used JustRite Stampers All Occasion Nested Centers & Verse set AGAIN! (...can you tell I LOVE it!?) I inked the sentiment using two markers and then cut a cloud shape around the stamped image so I would be sure to get it all in.
You can find a huge selection of JustRite stamps at Stamper's Dream. Be sure to check out the Christmas release---coming soon!!!

Materials used: Stamps- All Occasion Nested Centers & Verse (JustRite Stampers); markers-red, black (SU!); designer paper- Fly a Kite 8 by 8 pad (October Afternoon); Cloud die trio (My Favorite Things); ribbon (Gina K Designs); Cardstock-white, sweet corn (Gina K Designs); sewing machine; red metal stickers (Mark Richards); rub on-Fly a Kite (October Afternoon).

Thanks for stopping by!

Cammie, you are SO creative! I love that you cut your own clouds, and the way you used the JR sentiment is perfect! I'm sure your daughter was thrilled with her card. Thanks for sharing it with us, and again, Congrats to DD! That is, indeed, a milestone!
