Happy Graduation


Hello, friends!  Just stopping by to share a graduation card (and two more in the works).  No challenges involved...other than driving my two recent 8th grade graduates and their friends to a bazillion graduation parties each weekend!  (That IS a challenge, believe me!)

Yes, I am in need of some serious graduation cards...and I need to make them in BULK!

So, I inked up my Clearly Wordsworth "Happy Everything" stamp and went to town coloring with my small Copic collection.  Once colored, I layered onto some multi-colored patterned paper and added some stitch stamps down the side (from Precious Remembrance Shop).





You can see that I stamped the sentiment several times on scrap card stock because I know I'll need more.



Then it dawned on me...I could color the sentiment using the school colors of the graduates, so I went ahead and colored them using green and yellow (my kids' school colors are green and gold).

I also thought it would be fun to add some white enamel dots on the colored letters for interest.  Makes a big difference, doesn't it?



I definitely have to get cracking on some more graduation cards...hopefully this will be a good way to use up some of my patterned paper stash!

Thanks for stopping by!
Judy
