Hi everyone!! We have a couple of graduation parties this weekend so I was in need of a card. I struggled with one, it is for a young man whose school colors are blue and white. I've mentioned before I'm not a huge fan of blue and I wanted to be sure to give it enough of a masculine look. I've been thinking about this card all week long and finally turned to Nichole's blog and this post finally got my mojo going! I changed it up a bit by turning the sketch, using twine, cutting out the graduation cap (that was interesting!!) and used Fillable Frames #4 die. In the end I had a fun time making this card and am happy with how it turned out!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
Supplies:
Stamps: For the Graduate, A Little Argyle and Fillable Frames #4
Paper: Papertrey Rustic Cream & Enchanted Evening
Ink: Papertrey Enchanted Evening
Tools/Accessories: Rustic Cream Twine, Fillable Frames #4 die, Foam Tape
So cute! I love how the hat hangs off of the sentiment frame!
