CAS Graduation Cards (PDCC83, CFC4)

Hello, friends!  Happy Memorial Day!  Just popping in before we head to the pool with the kids to share two graduation cards I made for some soon-to-be graduates in the family. 

My first card is based on two challenges.  The first challenge I had in mind is the CAS-ual Fridays challenge to make a "Graduation" card.  I also followed the color scheme in the current Play Date Cafe Challenge #83 to use black, white, and a splash of green.





I made this clean and simple graduation card for my nephew who is graduating from 8th grade next month.  His school colors happen to be green and gold, so I made the graduation cap green.  Both stamps are $1 Studio G stamps from Michael's.  I added a green pearl to the cap and Glossy Accents to the tassel.  Hard to see, but the white card has a weaved textured pattern to it.  Love that!



The second card I made also uses green -- not sure I like it, but I'll have it on hand anyway.  This card uses the Studio G stamps in the background along with the Hero Arts (CL488) "Congrats" set and (CG125) "Friend Definition."  I used grass chalk ink for the cap, diploma and label, while I used grey pigment ink for the sentiment and the friend definition.


I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe Memorial Day holiday here in the U.S.  Heartfelt thanks to all those who serve and have served our country in the armed forces.  God bless you all!

Take care,
Judy

    Your CAS card is wonderful, Judy and the green one could easily be used for a graduate who has green as their main school color. Love 'em both! Hope you had a fun day at the pool!

    Judy, these are both great CAS graduation cards, but my fave is the white black and green one. I like how you offset the stamping to one corner. THanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe!
