Tis the graduation season here in my little town and I had a few cards to make to celebrate the graduates.
I tried the technique shown at Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday 251: Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts. I watercolored a panel with Zig Markers and then die cut the large numbers to correspond with this year from By the Numbers Die Cuts. These were adhered onto a white embossed card base (Sunshine Impression Plate). I then added a white heat embossed sentiment from Up, Up and Away Stamp Set with dimensional adhesive. I added some dots cut from the same watercolor wash paper and sequins. The inside of the card references "Congratulations to the Grad".
Karen, I love this! Wonderful bright colors and sentiment, both perfect for a graduation card! I didn't realize there was mini Up, Up & Away sentiments set and just put it on my wishlist!
