Non-Cricut Graduation Card

I've been so excited to try out my new stamp sets, "A Little Argyle" and "For the Graduate", from Papertrey Ink's April release. A friend of mine just got his MBA, so it was a perfect opportunity. All supplies are Papertrey Ink except for the brown satin ribbon, which was from Michael's.

First I stamped the argyle background on Rustic Cream cardstock using Enchanted Evening and Dark Chocolate inks. The kraft frame is a Papertrey Ink die, "Mat Stack 1", that I was able to use in my Cuttlebug. It is also stamped with Enchanted Evening ink. The sentiment is stamped in Vintage Cream, and the blue strip and card base are Enchanted Evening.

Hopefully this color combo is masculine enough!
