For today, I am using the newly release set called Dreams! I made two graduation cards. One for a girl and one for a guy! The exact same layout and stamp set, however, I used different colors and elements.
For the girl's card, I used stitching, shimmery ribbon, soft pink memory thread with curly ques, and a prima flower to top it all off. For the sentiment I used the dove stamped off in rose ink for a soft feminine feel.
For the guy's card, I did not use any stitching. I, instead, went with some warm colors and patterns. I finished with some frayed burlap ribbon and ivory twine with button. For the sentiment, I used the olive branch stamped off at the top and the bottom to further emphasize a more manly design.
Both cards use ODBD Custom Spellbinder's Elegant Ovals die.
