Karen Amidon...that's me!

It's getting close to graduation time and I love having cards pre made for the occasion. I thought the stamp, Smallest Step, would work great for a college grad! 
The background was designed using the Gelli Plate and lots of colors. I used the Ocean Border die for the curves along the edge.


 Dina's silhouette stamp, Runningwas colored with Distress Markers for the inside of my card. "Congratulations", says it all to the new grad! 

Thanks for looking
