Congratulations!

Today I am sharing a card I made, for a good friend and neighbour.
After three years of home studying, he was given the news on Wednesday
that he had passed his Open University degree with an Upper Second Honours.
Such fabulous news, and so well deserved.


I came across the idea for the card on Pinterest.

The products I have used are:-
Darice Embossing Folder - Stripe
Docrafts Xcut Nesting Dies - Star
Presscut die - Congratulations

  8. Perfect for your neighbor's great accomplishment and perfect for our Double D challenge! It's a wonderfully masculine design. Nice texture with the gloss on the stars and the embossed stripes. The beautifully scripted die cut sentiment adds even more texture. I'm so glad you shared this with us at Double D!
