This week our Creative Belli Challenge is to make a graduation card. If you think you don't have any graduation stamps, put on your thinking cap and see what you can create without one. I used my Inkadinkado owl, colored in markers and an Inkadinkado grad cap from an all occasion set embossed in black. You could just use an owl if you have one with the diploma in his claws. For mine I just stamped Congratulations on a piece of paper and rolled it up. The paper is Scarlet's Letter by Basic Grey with Basic Gray cardstock and taffeta ribbon by Stampin' Up.
Hope you can join us on this challenge, we would love to see what you create!
For my second sample I used Basic Gray textured cardstock and the template from Splitcoaststampers (found in Templates section under Graduation gift Card Holder. I sponged the edges with matching ink and pierced all the way around. A large brad and tassel were added and the sentiment on the inside is from the retired set Measure Of A Life. It says "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". by Eleanor Roosevelt. A gift card tucks into inside front.
