Hi y'all! Graduation season is almost here! Our son will be graduating from FSU in just a few weeks. I am so excited for him and so so proud.
This Congrats graduation paper is so fun! The colors practically glow and a little distress inking on the edges helps to accentuate that illusion. Of course, black makes everything pop! I cut two of the graduation cap and trimmed the board and tassel from one, popping it up on dimensional adhesive to make the cap look more 3-D. The tassel was colored with gold Wink of Stella and there's a black rhinestone for the cap's button center.
The inside of the card is a little "study vignette" using some wood grain designer paper for a desk with our new books stamp and matching die, the diploma, an even some stenciling for the background "wallpaper." For the diploma I cut one from white card stock that I colored and shaded with Copic markers (it looks like some parchment calligraphy paper that I have!), and a second one from a scrap of black for the fussy-cut ribbon center. Those little details take some time but they really add a lot and I think they're fun to do.
