For the Graduates

Just Three for Now!

I love Mo's little 'college' kids! This is Trinity, and I had so much fun coloring her with Copics and Prismacolor pencils and creating this card! She's available at Mo's store.

I needed some graduation cards and really wanted to use Mo's images, but she's been having trouble getting the drawings of graduating teens down just the way she wants them. I couldn't wait any longer, so came up with the idea of using a couple of her other images. Trinity was an obvious choice for a girl.

On the inside this one says, "Congratulations, Graduate! Best wishes for another new beginning!"

SU! Sentiment Stamp---Great Greetings

SU! card stock---Barely Banana, Always Artichoke, Baroque Burgundy

Patterned paper---Basic Grey's Wassailing

Embellishments---Flowers and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts, Branch punch from Martha Stewart, SU! Scallop Circle punch, Gold cabochons, White gel pen

Tools---Cuttlebug with Shapeabilities Large Label die

This one uses 'A Thousand Stars' which is also available at the store. I couldn't seem to get the sky as dark a blue as I'd have liked. My darkest blue Prismacolor pencil lightened up as soon as I blended it! I'm going to try a different technique the next time.  On the inside this one says, "Reach for the stars, Graduate!"

Sentiment Stamp---Inkadinkado

Basic Grey patterned paper

Gold Metallic

Embellishments---Gold embossing powder, Spica Gold pen

Tools---Star punch, Cuttlebug with embossing folder

This last one is my least favorite. It doesn't use one of Mo's images, so I wasn't all that inspired! The image came from a coloring book site. The inside says, "Congratulations! You did it!"
