Grad Cards

We have a need for quite a few grad cards this year.  I made these cards using school colors of the graduate.
  This card uses a Hero Arts background stamp and a digi from Create with TLC. I used the 'Color Sandwich' technique from Techique Junkies new newsletter. The diploma uses the modern label punch from SU.
  Next, I used a digi paper from Create with TLC and a digi from Firecracker Designs by Pamela (she closed her store last year).

For the diploma- punch out the modern label punch from SU- roll it around something round- a pencil or a paintbrush handle.  You'll need to cut out a small piece of paper to roll up and put under it to be able to glue it down to your card. Tie fiber in matching school color around it.

Challenges
Just some Lines-Graduation
Stamp Insanity-Red ,White and Blue


Have a safe and happy weekend.
