Just stamps and ink

 

Today I'm combining two challenges to make the perfect card for my nephew who is undertaking exams as I type! The Embellish challenge is to use text within their colour scheme and CAS-ual Fridays's challenge is to create a graduation card. Put them together with some inspiration from this card of Julie Ebersole's and I came up with a one layer, very CAS, just stamps and ink, perfect for my nephew card. I incorporated the text circles within the design, so I hope this counts as enough for the challenge!

Supplies:

Stamps - PTI simple circles, around and about sentiments
Inks - Versafine onyx black, smoky gray, Versacolor polar blue, baby blue

    Fabulous card! I love that the Round and About Sentiments work with the Simple Circles. I could see lots of occasions where a card like this could be just perfect!

    I have a real soft spot for Around and About sentiments (it was my first PTI set - so versatile!) and now you've gone and inspired me to get those Simple Circles to compliment it LOL! A match made in Heaven :)
