It's graudation time again! I always struggle with these cards mostly because I don't really have a good stamp set with classic images but I did see a card on Pinterest and so cased it. The school colors are forest green and gold. I am wondering if this is enough gold and if the green is forest-y enough =).
The stamped Happy Graduation image is retired from Stampin Up but I think it's such a classic. For the grad hat I used a 1-3/8" square punch and layered it with a 1 1/4 in. square. I think graduation time is the only time I use SU's brushed gold paper. To me it's the nicest brushed gold paper out there because it has a beautiful warm tone. The tie is made from Certainly Celery satin ribbon and glue dotted on. The card stock is basic black and Garden Green. On top of the cap I used SU's glitter brad and shredded a black grosgrain ribbon for the tassel. You gotta love the new SU Framelits!
I love the way it turned out. I hope you do too!
Thanks for stopping by!
