Another Graduation...

I think this is the last of the 8th grade graduation cards that I had to make. I sat down one day and pretty much did nothing but make cards now I have to go back and figure out which ones I did and did not post yet. To get the single image all I did was to put a piece of tape on the image on each side of the stamp then I stamped in the VersaMark and embossed with Black embossing powder.  To do the banner I stamped my image and cut the v's in each end.  I used 3 glue dots, one on each and and one in the middle to get it to do the wave.  I guess I am in a monochromatic mode.  I love see what the "partners" to all the new colors look like.

Another Graduation

One more graduation card I needed to get done.  I am by far a good water-colorer but I really wanted this set so I just had to go to it.  I love using the impression folders, they add so much texture to the cards with actually very little effort...unless my desk needs to be cleaned off to use my Big Shot (haha).  I am sure getting my money's worth out of this set. The image was embossed before I colored it.  I find that so much easier to stay in the line.  The hats are popped up on dimensionals.

Stamps:  Go Graduate
Paper: Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink: VersaMark, Basic Gray, Various colors for watercoloring

Kindergarten Graduation

I was in need of a Kindergarten graduation card.  I wanted it to be bright, colorful and cheerful.  The filmstrip concept is an easy way to make a fun card fast.  I stamped, embossed, and colored with re-inkers and water pens on one sheet. I then punched the owls out with a 1-1/4" Square punch.  If I remember right I gave 1/2" on each side for the Spiral Border Punch.

Graduation Thank You

I had a son graduate from 8th grade this year so I got a chance to make graduation thank you cards.  I just love the new colors!  I hope I can make it to the catalog release before I use up the colors I bought.  I will not place another pre-order!!!! Oodles of sponging! I love this little hat cut out and popped up.  The sentiment is layered and then popped up too.  Off to reproduce a bunch of these.....have a great weekend!!
