I have a niece going into Grade 11 so this card is for her. I used the Flower Power Stamp Set (which is one of my faves!)
The plan for this card started out completely different than the way it ended up. I stamped the You Rock with Barely Beige ink from Simon Says Stamp. I originally thought I would do no-line colouring on these letters but my skills are what you'd call...lacking. So after the colouring was done, I decided to rest restamp in Versamark Ink and gold heat emboss.
I heat embossed "truth is" which is from the Truth Is Stamp Set also in gold and foam mounted the strip in between the focal sentiment.
The embellishments are made using the Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies cut from gold cardstock which I made using Versamark and gold embossing powder.
On the inside of the card, I stamped an encouraging sentiment also from the Truth Is Stamp Set.

Those flower letters are just fabulous!! And I love that they've been embossed in the gold on top. Ours are back at school in 2.5 weeks so still lots of fun to be had before then :) xxx
