The challenge on http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ was to make a card for 'the fellas'. There were all kinds of things I wanted to try and may still - time permitting, but when I started following the sketch on http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ this graduation card seemed to fall into place. That does not happen to me often!!!
The 'congratulations' paper is by DCWV and is from one of their fabulous paper stacks. The actual circle is a CD but it's not showing up too well on the photo. The black half of the circle has been embossed with the spots cuttlebug folder and on this particular black card it punctures the card slightly allowing the white back to come through but I quite like the effect so have kept it out of the bin!
The 'Congratulations' stamp is a clear stamp from Autumn Leaves in the range designed by Tia Bennett. Mine came free in a 'thank you ' bag with an order from one of my favourite American craft sites - Bargain Garden - see link in side panel. Amazing stamps at amazing prices and you get gifts with your order too!!! Please don't buy everything if you do visit though will you?
The space at the bottom will be used to place a name to personalise the card when I know who it's for.
