She will be wearing a black gown with a hood trimmed in blue and white so I've used these colours in my design and kept the design simple - held back on the flowers this time but went to town on the silver embossing and couldn't leave out the bling altogether so added three sparkly stars because she is a star!
Materials used:
- Card stock: black card for base, royal blue card for matting and white card - some of it is swiss dot card (I think this is by Bazzil) used for the lace trim and the inside label.
- Paper: Graduation by Hot of the Press
- Stamps: Grad Anya - a digital stamp from The Greeting Farm, Sentiment and Champagne Glass part of SWALK collection from Crafters Companion
- Embellishments: blue satin ribbon, rhinestone stars
I've just acquired my first Martha Stewart punch - Punch Around The Page - so I just had to use it to make the lace trim for this card - can't get a new toy and not play with it:)
For inside the card I borrowed an idea from a really talented lady, Bev, who can be found on her blog All the Things I Love - I just love this woman's work!
I just hope my daughter likes her card as much as I enjoyed making it for her.
Bye for now
Elizabeth

What a beautiful card Elizabeth, i;m sure your daughter will love it to bits!
It's not only gorgeous on the outside, but equally as lovely on the inside too, you made a great job of it... love the colouring-in too :-)
Hi Sarah - thank you so much for your kind comments, especially regarding the colouring. I'm no artist and still very much a beginner so I struggle with deciding where the light is coming from, etc., but I'm having the time of my life learning! Thanks again, Elizabeth
Good luck for the cermony Elizabeth. Lovely image.
