HMFMC341 embossing

 This is one of my favorite House Mouse stamps, and I have to use it at least once every graduation season. I decided to combine it with the embossing challenge going on over at HMFMC 341 that can be found here:

I embossed the silver card stock then I rubbed a black ink pad over it. I colored the image with copic markers. I cut this flourised die out of some silver dotted black paper. The sentiment is from Idelogy from Tim Holtz.  

International art and soul -- 109 - graduation

 

I made this card for the SCS CAS challenge to use a diagonal line on the card. Since the International Art and Soul challenge theme is graduation and thought I could combine these into one card. I need to send two graduation cards this year for friends and family and both are boys. I think this will be a great card for one of them, and if I have another piece of that cardstock left, I might make it for the other young man too. There is no stamping on this card. I used die cuts, designer paper, and I freehanded the sentiment with a white gel pen.  Although this looks gray in this picture, it is black and the gold chrome contrasts beautifully but is so hard to photograph.

Celebration - graduation

The Crafty Cardmakers Challenge this week is celebrations. With graduation coming up and many I need to make cards for, I decided to get those going so I can help these young people who have been robbed of all the usual events that go into this celebration have not gotten to happen this year. So  I will be sending a few more than usual this year. This one was done with a stencil I won from Stamplorations, and the stamps are from Unity. I watercolored the cap and gown, and used copic markers for the rest of the image. The inks for the stenciling were done with Distress Oxide inks.

Sean Andrew's graduation card

I made this card for a friend to give to her great nephew who is graduating from high school this weekend.. I used navy paper, white, and metallic card stock. Inside it is a money holder. I also made this for the Cardz for Galz challenge to do a graduation card that can be found HERE.
