Graduation Card

Hi all,

I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day.  I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend with family and friends.  It’s hard to believe there’s only about a month left to the school year, yikes!  And very soon there will lots of new graduates celebrating their hard work.  So today I have a graduation card, perfect for those college graduates especially.

I dug into my stash of leftover papers and older stamp sets to create this card.  I love the color combo with those patterned papers from Lawn Fawn’s Dewey Decimal collection.  For the image and sentiments I used an older stamp set from My Favorite Things, Inspired by Knowledge.  I added the copper brad to embellish the graduation cap.  The label shape was created using my Designer Labels 4 dies from My Favorite Things, also an older die set.  It’s nice to brush up some of the oldies from your stash and still be able to create a nice new card.

Here’s a close up of the focal image.  I also inked the edges of the label a bit with some brown ink.   Finally I used some foam tape to adhere the focal to the card for some dimension.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
