PPC #66 - my turn!

This week at Playing in Paradise it's my turn to set the challenge....

PPC #66

Sackville is home to Mount Allison University, and they'll be celebrating convocations in the next few weeks - and high school graduation is right around the corner. So, I'm challenging everyone to share their graduation projects. If you don't have need of a grad card or layout, how about an encouraging card for a friend? 

Here's my card:

Supplies: papers & die cut quote, arrow,  & frame from Kaisercraft Chapter One;
Spellbinders butterfly die;
light blue pearls; Doodlebug Congrats sticker


The butterfly is cut out of plain scrap vellum - I cut four, and adhered them to the card by stitching along the 'body' - I started at the antennae, leaving the knot & thread ends to mimic antennae, then ended inside the card.

Remember, when you play along with us at Playing in Paradise, there is always a fab prize up for grabs - every single week! Make sure to head over to the challenge post to see this week's guest designer, as well as the nitty-gritty details on the challenge. Super simple - use what you want, make what you're inspired to make, share it with us by noon on May 17th  :) 

And don't forget to check out what the other designers have been up to!

xoxo,
Jessi
