Graduation

Happy Tuesday all! I'm gonna share a little piece of my heart today. I just got my oldest daughter graduated last week. My lip was quivering the whole time! I cannot believe she is off to college soon. I keep trying to convince her that she is still only 12, but she's not believing me, lol!

This is the card I created for her. The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil colored with ProMarkers. The papers are from Lily Bee Design This & That paper pad. I have distressed the edges and added hand-stitching. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and is just so beautiful in person. The flowers are made with satin using the burnt edge technique. I will be creating some flower tutorials soon, so stay tuned. The center is a pearl brad from the Eyelet Outlet.

The sentiment on the inside is a Dr. Seuss quote from his book Oh, The Places You'll Go which I got from Raindrop Echo Designs Graduation Sentiments set.
