Graduating Text

Photo Details

Poster: RobinRingtail

Today's challenge: create a card using text, was perfect for a grad card.

I used my stampamajig to stamp the text background onto watercolor paper that had been swiped with a spectrum pad and then misted for the colors to blend.

I stamped GRAD onto black cs with black craft ink and then embossed with gold ep. The letters are cut out.

The mortar board was made from scraps of black cs, a brad and embroidery floss.

Thanks for looking!
