As You Graduate...

It's GRADUATION TIME! Here is one of my favorite Graduation Quotes:
'Graduation is only a concept.  In real life -every day you graduate.  Graduation is a process that goes on  until the last day of your life.  If you can grasp that, you’ll make a difference.'
 ~Arie Pencovici

~As you Graduate ~ Card Recipe
Stamps: ODBD - As You Graduate Set
Ink: Graphite Black
Paper: The Paper Company Cool Metallic Ruby Jewel, White CS, Gray CS
Accessories:  Frantic Stamper Precision Die Star Card Panel; Creative Expressions Pierced Flags dies by Sue Wilson, Cuttlebug Mini-Stars EF, Gray Satin Ribbon, Silver Pearls
Techniques: Dry Embossing, Layering

The FRA-DIE-09412 Stars Card Panel die makes this great background.  Not only do you get this fun background that's perfect for so many themes, but you also get the mini stars that cut out of it. How awesome is that??  The front stars on the card were cut with Spellbinders Dies and given texture with the Mini Stars Cuttlebug embossing folders then layered for dimension.
