Grad card take 2

Mama asked for a grad card for a boy, so here's my masculine version of Friday's card. Almost everything is the same as Friday's card: Presto Patterns DSP, Happy Grad stamp, satin ribbon. I chose Bravo Burgundy as the main color (you could use the school colors as well) and Basic Black for the accent color. Instead of a flower, I created a diploma by rolling up a 2 1/2" wide piece of Whisper White cardstock and tying it with gold cord. It's too bulky to mail, but I love the look! How'd I do, Mama?
Happy stamping!

Grad card

I knew I'd need a couple of graduation cards this year, so I was very happy to see the graduation stamp that SU has in the Summer Mini catalog! I love that I have a useful stamp without having to buy a whole set. The Presto Patterns specialty paper is also from the Summer Mini. The pattern is glossy so that it resists the ink I applied, and that makes the pattern pop! This card is for a girl, so I added a little shimmer by using Shimmery White cardstock as well as applying Champagne shimmer paint to the white flower. The layout is a CASE of the Mother's Day card I got from Mama.
