Con”GRAD”ulations!

Can you believe that May is only a few short days away? Graduation will be here before you know it! I had big plans of getting a head start on graduation cards this year, not so much….this makes card #2! I went with super simple and classic black and white, so the card can be used for any school.

I started by inking my cap image in Intense Black ink and die cutting with the coordinating die. I mounted the cap with 3-D foam tape for added dimension. My sentiment strip is also mounted with 3-D foam tape. I love the simple elegance of the dry embossed background. It seems I use this folder in some form on almost every graduation card.

I mixed up a few sentiments on the inside to create a custom sentiment. The stitched panel adds in the little extra detail. Super simple card, yet easy to reproduce if you need multiple graduation cards! (this would be me!)
