ConGRADulations

I am certainly getting some mileage out of my graduation card stamps….so much that I have even ordered new ones to add to the collection! I prefer to make all my cards unique, so sketch challenges have certainly been my friend!  I created this card based on the sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches–

Since all of my cards are being mailed this year, I am trying to keep them on the simpler side….mostly for ease of mailing.  I sometimes worry about my multi layer creations making it through the mail stream!  My card is super simple.  I started with a panel of White Daisy cardstock and dry embossed with the Graduate Cap embossing folder.  My frame and center strip were both cut from the Stitched Frames Thin Cuts.  To make the center banner, I simply lined up a panel die cut and cut again to make the needed size.
