The young man who lives next door left home for the first time to go to university this week. This is the card I made for him to wish him good luck.
The sentiment is an old Inkadinkado stamp I bought at least 12 years ago, stamped in navy with the moon coloured in with yellow. For matting and layering, I used a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die and 'Postage Square Layers' die. The patterned paper square was hand cut to leave a border of dots. I raised the layered square up on foam pads. The dotty and striped patterned paper was from Anna Marie Designs. Three punched stars finished off my card
