Graduation day

Can you believe no dies, stamps, or glitter were used in this project?  Pretty unusual for me.  I hand cut the graduation cap out of cryogen cardstock (which has an embedded glittery look all on it's own) and I hand tied the tassel too.  The diploma is rolled up cardstock with Distress Ink added to the edges and a bow tied around.  The embossed background is Garden Lattice from Spellbinders.

Good Luck

I created a bookmark using the Sparkle N Sprinkle Asian-Leaf Robe set, combining three of the images together.  I colored the Gingko leaves with Copic markers as well as portions of the robe (you should color before applying other materials).  Then I began by adding several different glitters to various parts of the robe and the sentiment: Black Suede, Cyclamen, Hanauma Bay, and Evening Glow.  I really wish you could see these glitters in person!  The computer screen doesn't do them justice at all.


I used Graphic 45's Bird Song collection for this stamp set and they are perfect for these stamps.  I also wanted to show you the back of the bookmark, since the papers are so gorgeous.

One last embellishment was the handmade tassel for the top.  I based it on this you tube video from Craft Dee BowZ, even though I don't have this product (yet).
