For today's inspiration challenge we were given the Walls Need Love web site.
I needed a last minute grad card for tomorrow, for a young man at my church and thought stars would be good design - and was inspired by the stars on this paper although I knew I wanted colors and not just gray!
My design was also inspired by a card by Ardyth I found in the galleries searching for grad cards with stars!
My background was made by smooshing Distress Inks spritzed with water onto watercolor paper. I used white embossing paste over a star stencil and personalized the card with Nick's name.
This card is big - 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" so lots of people at church can sign it!
