Darn it. My colored cardstock didn't bleach as well as I wanted. But it's still pretty neat. I just was hoping for lighter arrows. I stamped and embossed the arrows all over the royal blue cardstock. Then I bleached them all. I made my first order with Ink Road Stamps and I love this one (which I blurred out so I don't offend anyone). I needed a graduation card for my cousin's son and I thought he'd get a kick out of this one. Isn't that how we all felt when we graduated from high school? I know I did. Combined with Kim's sketch challenge for the VSN Mini by putting 2020 in the corners.

This is such a cool grad card! I still need to get a grad card made for my niece. I love the bold color. I love the lighter color the bleach added to the arrows!

Love how this worked for that Virtual stamp challenge as well by using that sketch and the numbers for your corner pieces.

Jen, I'm convinced that some cardstock just doesn't bleach as well as others. I can tell you that I've tried so many, and I never seem to get as good results as what I see people uploading when they use SU card. But you can still see the contrast in the arrows! And I think the 2020 in the corners looks super.

This sentiment is so perfect for this year's seniors too. LOL! I have made 40 graduation cards already this year and I am still making them for people asking for them. LOL! I have a feeling with 3 family members graduating next year I am going to need over a hundred next year. I might need to get started on them once I get done with this years cards. LOL!

LOL! Not only is the sentiment great for graduation, but it is extra perfect for the poor Class of 2020! I love the numbers at the corners; great use of the sketch!!
