I had to make a grad card today for a friend's daughter who is graduating and decided to use today's sketch flipped on the side. I'm still playing with my brayer trying to learn what I can do with it and used it to make the panel with the Grad sentiment on it. I used her school colours for the card. I really like the new SU yellow daffodil delight but could not seem to get a good picture reflecting the true colour. Any way I ran out of time and had to give her Mom the card so this is the best picture of the bunch. Hope she likes the card, her Mom was happy with it anyway. Thanks for taking a look.

Wow! This has to be one of the best grad cards I've seen in a long time. I'm sure the recipient will be amazed when they open the envelope. Fantastic use of color and layout. Your use of the embossed stars, the wide ribbon and cut out elements all add up to a fabulous card. TFS.

Wow, this is you just learning to use a brayer?!? I love the wonderful glow and shading you gave that panel! And the tassel on the side is just perfect!
