Reach for the Moon!

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

I am joining in the following challenges:
Memory Box Challenge #76 ~ Stripes (I hope I've included enough stripes)

    Hi Liz,
    oh a special time for him and his parents.
    I love your wonderful card and it looks so stunning and striking with that wonderful paper used.
    Such a perfect sentiment too for a person off to Uni.

    Great card and a clever bit of cutting to get the border of dots on that square.

    That was so nice of you to send him off with such an inspiring card. It's scary to be away for the first time on your own. Love the little stars along the top.

    What a wonderful card for someone going off to university Liz and a great masculine design with the blue spots and stripes, and the perfect addition of the three gold stars. x

    I'm sure the young man loved his "going away" card, I'm sure it will be treasured by him.

    This is the perfect card for this young man as he embarks on his new journey Liz! I love the polka dot paper, the sentiment for sure and the postage layer die cut. I hope this young man hangs this up in his dorm room and reads it everyday! Hugs, Brenda
