Petal Fold Graduation

My mother-in-law asked for a few graduation cards. For some reason whenever I make cards on request I get REALLY nervous. I’m usually given free reign to do whatever, but I worry it won’t be what they wanted. I ‘whipped up’ (by which I mean stayed up half the night futzing) a few options for her. This is one of the cards she chose. They left early yesterday morning for the drive from MN to TX. It will be a short weekend to attend my niece’s college graduation. My hubby and I were unable to attend, but I feel better knowing my card made the trip!

1 Ribbon (hopefully 2 pieces of the same ribbon count), 2 Designer Papers (dots and grad), 3 Embellishments (brad, rub on, die cut)

My Creation

    This is a great Graduation card. I like the way the center folds on it, and I can totally relate about getting nervous when it comes to creating for someone else. I am the same way. Some times the mojo just "flows" better when you are free to roam. lol

    Thanks for joining us at KL Stampin N Scrappin DT blog for Jodi's challenge this week. Hugs, Kelly
