So glad to make it back to the craft room after the holidays! You might think it is a little early for graduation cards, but I seriously need to get a head start! When I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, my first thought was of graduation caps, so I thought why not? Here is the original sketch design for you to follow along with-
I flipped the design and inked up my new to me Gap and Gown stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps. They ran a great pre-holiday sale, and I am just now getting to put ink to paper! The caps were stamped in Intense Black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils, blended with Gamsol. I mounted each of the caps with foam tape for additional dimension. My sentiment is from the same stamp set.
All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
- Cap & Gown Stamp Set w/Coordinating Dies-Honeybee Stamps
- 1385 White Daisy Cardstock
- X6064 Black Cardstock
- Z4189 Intense Black Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad
