Celebrating Graduation

I made this card earlier for a Clean and Simple challenge on Splitcoaststampers and didn't have an opportunity to post it here so I thought I would share tonight:

Stamps: Celebrate Today
Ink: Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant
Paper: Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack
Accessories: Balloon Framelits, Banner Framelits, Bitty Banner Framelits, Gold Sequin Trim, Chipboard

I cut out a banner from a piece of White cardstock, used it as a frame to showcase the gold dsp behind that layer.  The Balloon is cut from chipboard and again in Elegant Eggplant.  Stamped the sentiment onto the Eggplant piece first before cutting out with Night of Navy.  Adhered the two pieces together to make a thick accent on this card.  Stamped the sentiment onto white with Elegant Eggplant, cutting with the Bitty Banner Framelits.  Adhered the bow accent to the balloon along with the graduation banner.  Adhered a folded over piece of the sequin trim behind the balloon before adhering to the base.
