I used the retired stamp set, Starburst Sayings and the Starblast Dies from Stampin Up. I also used stitched rectangle dies, an oval die, and a fishtail banner die (for the bottom layer). I think its such a nice stamp set and there are many beautiful cards using this one. I stamped the sentiment using Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. And I used the Thoughtful Banners stamp set to convert this to a graduation card. I used DSP from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit (Feb 2017), and cut some banners and adhered those to the bottom portion on the base layer according to the sketch. I used some 1/4" white grosgrain ribbon and also made a bow. For the second layer I die cut that with a rectangle die, and then die cut and oval from the center and then used Stampin' Up! Layering Ovals to get the white scalloped frame. I cut a white starburst using the Starblast dies and used a circle to cut the sentiment. Finally, I added some silver sequins. I may change the graduation sentiment but the card is actually very pretty in person! Thanks for Looking.
