I made these cards for the young ladies in my daughter's graduating class as I needed something simple and elegant. The color scheme is from their school colors of blue and gold.
I embossed the Night of Navy cs with the Celebrate ef. I stamped the figure from Beautiful You, cut it out with an oval die, and colored with watercolor pencils, then used the blender pen. The fussiest part of this was die cutting the gold frame to surround it. I punched out the square and die cut the tassel from Balloon framelits which I had to cut down by fussy cutting as it was too big. I popped the grad cap up with a dimensional. Inside sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy and says Happy graduation.
Thanks for looking!

My goodness, what a fun graduation card this is Catherine. This gal is definitely celebrating her graduation. The gold frame around the oval definitely draws your eye right to this wonderful image panel. I love how you made the graduation cap too- so fun! How lucky these young ladies are to be getting one of your gorgeous handmade creations Catherine. ~Karen.
