A Lovely Congratulations Card ~ DRU Graduation / Congratulations

Helo all!  We're coming into the midst of graduation season and I think it's so important that we don't forget our grads who are not able to walk across the stage and hear their name called on graduation day.  I have two important young people in my life that are graduating this year and my heart is sad for them, that they can't experience this life event that all students look forward to at the end of all their hard work.  
 Dies R Us Challenge Blog is starting a new challenge with the them of Graduation / Congratulations.
I started with these beautiful 7th Heaven papers from Mintay by Karola. I fussy cut the floral frame and butterfly from the accessories page in the paper pack.

I paired the floral frame with Sue Wilson Designs Australian Collection ~ Brisbane and attached the butterfly so that it's wings are dimentional.  Look at the lovely detail on that lacy frame.  Just beautiful!  I added just a hint of color using Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  Isn't it heavenly??


You can find all the details and join in on the fun by clicking here.  You could be the next winner of a DRU Gift Certificate!

I wanted to remind you that we have some exciting news to share with you.  Dies R Us now has opened a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts 


They ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!  We'd love for you to visit by clicking on the links above or by clicking here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh my this is just gorgeous, I do love that frame and the flowers are so pretty, love the sentiment in gold across the frame and the butterfly is sweet too! I have a great niece who graduates this year also and she is so bummed by all of this. They are hoping they can have an open house for her by the end of the summer.
