Male Graduation Card

to me
I'm still catching up on graduation cards! This one is for the son of a good friend. He's a very bright young man who is also a talented trumpet player. I have no doubt he'll do well when he begins college at Grand Valley University next month. He also has a strong Christian faith and will no doubt be a wonderful witness to those around him.
I used a 5X6.5 inch white card base and trimmed some red cardstock for the front of the card. Then I die cut a piece of blue and white patterned cardstock with a Papertrey Ink die and then die cut the Bugaboo pre-colored digi with a Gina Marie Designs die. I added some stars using Poppystamps "Stacked Stars" die and pieces from Memory Box's "Star Flourish." 
I am entering this card in the following challenges:

    1. You can't go wrong with a primary color scheme, and this is a beautiful example of that. The image is absolutely adorable, and I love all the different little die cut stars. They really add a festive feel!

      Thanks for celebrating our 100th post with us at Cut it Up!

    19. Wonderful creation. We are so blessed that you joined our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. We have a new Challenge going on and we hope you can link with us again. Leaving you with the inspiration of God’s Word in Jeremiah 32:17 which says, “‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.”

      God bless,
