VLV Go Confidently, Grad

This past Friday started a new Viva la Verve Challenge!!  This week's hostess with the mostess is Amber and she has a GREAT sketch!  I was in need of a Graduation card, so I thought I'd use this sketch to create that.  I started with some papers from the On the Bright Side One Collection from My Mind's Eye.  I thought the papers would be great for a male graduation card.  I used a few Verve stamps sets for my card.  I used sentiments from Words of Wisdom and Small Celebrations and the label image from Love Notes that coordinates with the Classy Label Die.   

I added a little stitching and hand cut the flags behind the "denim" panel.  I stamped the larger sentiment in white craft ink and embossed it with white embossing powder, and the smaller sentiment was stamped in Onyx Black Versafine ink.  The label was stamped in Ripe Avocado. 

Come play along with the Viva la Verve Challenge!  There's always a chance to win some Verve!!  :)  Thanks for stopping by today and have a fabulous day!
