Grad Card for a Guy

I took some silver cardstock from my DCWV Immortal Love cardstock stack and cut it just slightly smaller then the black cardstock base I made. I used the diamond cuttlebug folder on the silver cardstock because it reminded me of toolboxes that you see a lot in truck beds.

I attached the black ribbon to the underside of the silver before adding it to the base, used Zig two way glue for the sentiment, and pop dots for the diploma.

Thanks for visiting!-

What it boils down to is fear of myself and fear of failure more so then the art supply itself. Basically what I’...
