Serene Silhouettes Graduation

    Today's card is for this week's Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  I must say I had a hard time with this week's sketch!  I finally just sponged in some colors on the semi-circle to kind of show a sunset since it seems that's all I've been working on lately, then stamped one of the trees from Serene Silhouettes.  I also needed one more graduation card, so it kind of served a dual purpose today.  
If you like the look of sponging and aren't sure how to do it I have four cards that I made for the Inky Fingers Club Summer Session.  They range from pretty simple to a bit of work, but I will have detailed instructions and a LOT of pictures for each card.  Here is some more info you can check out if you're interested...

Graduation Cards ~ Part 2

A couple of weeks ago I posted two graduation cards for a couple of open houses I had to go to.  Well, this weekend I have two more, so of course I had to make more cards.  I decided to keep the same general idea, but change the size.  I used the RGB codes for Night of Navy and Garden Green to put their name and class on the outside of each card.  


I put the same short note and verse inside...and of course a pocket to slide some cash or a check into.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Card Stock:  Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight & Whisper White 
Garden Green & Whisper White
The closed card measures 4.25" x 4.25".  
The first layer is 4" x 4" and the one with a second layer is 3.75" x 3.75".
The cap is three layers of card stock 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" with a brad put through the middle.
I got my idea for the tassels from my upline Glenda here

Graduation Cards

It's that time of year..graduation.  And that means open houses.  My upline Glenda has a tutorial that I saw a few weeks ago on how to make tassels, and that got an idea going in my head.  These are a couple of the cards I came up with.  I didn't have envelopes for this size of a card, so I just made a band to slide over the card instead.  I don't have any graduation stamps, so I used the RGB code for Night of Navy and put their name and class on the outside of each card.  You'll have to click on the picture if you want to see the embossing lines I have on the cards.


On the inside I put a short note and verse...and of course a pocket to slide some cash or a check into.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
