SR#276 ... Graduation Card

Hi everyone,

 

Just popping in to share a card I made for a new-to-me challenge called Stampin' Royalty.  This week is all about Graduation.

 

My card:

 

 

I CASED this Graduation card from this talented stamper, you can see her card HERE.  I did change it up a little to make it my own.  I started out with Basic Black card base, then added Very Vanilla card stock.  I embossed a piece of gold card stock (which is always a bit hard to photograph) with the Star Border EF.  I created the graduation cap using the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge.  I used some DMC floss #815 to wrap up the diploma.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Big Notes III, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.

 

Many thanks for visiting me today,

Stamps: IBS Be Mine, SU! S.W.A.K. (retired)
