Bloggers Challenge 46 -- Graduation Cards

Another simple card from me! This is a heartfelt one and it is going to be for my 8 year old son who so struggles with school because he is dyslexic and we just found out. He has worked so incredibly hard this year and I am sooooooooooo incredibly proud of him! It continues to be hard but I can only pray and work hard with him in hopes that he can finally find a place were he can be proud of himself too. So this is my Blogger's Challenge Card for week 45.





Stamp Sets Used: So Cool and the retired little layers
Papers used: Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Real Red and Whisper White card stocks
Ink: Night of Navy, Real Red and Bashful Blue on the embossing folder for a tone on tone embossed effect.
Other: Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nestabilities circle dies, gel pen, brayer, brad

    I just ordered the "DUDE" set! This is SO CUTE! I may have to CASE this...minus the cuttlebug background as I don't own that. But this makes such cute cards and I love the way you added the hat on the word Dude.

    My DH is dyslexic also. You have poured so much love into this card and it says more that the words on the card. What a loving tribute to your son, such encouragement, acceptance, strength and hope! I love your card....
