Okay - I think I'm reaching the end of the graduation cards for this year - but no promises! I really have just had so much fun with this one graduation set from Simon Says Stamp - and since this set was designed by my daughter, I once again tried to recreate one of her own design ideas for this card to make it a reality! I didn't stamp things exactly where I wish now that I had, but I still had fun with this technique for adding color to the graduation caps by creating a stencil with the coordinating die!
I started off by stamping the main sentiment from Graduation Greetings in the middle of my panel of white cardstock, then grabbing the two grad hats and sprinkling them around as well. I stamped with Nocturne ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder so that I could stencil over the top without smearing the ink. Then I die cut each of the hat dies into a small square of white cardstock, and used it as a stencil to add color to a few select ones of the hats. I used Terracotta, Honey, Tropic, Dusk, and Eucalyptus. I love how it kind of goes over the edges of the image, but fully fills it in for a bit of a graphic look! I then stamped some of the smaller images around to fill the background in, then added the secondary sentiment popped up on foam. I added coordinating glitter enamel dots to the colored hats, and Dazzling Black gems sprinkled around the background and on the plain hats. Once that panel was done, I mounted it on a cardbase created with Fog cardstock! An almost one layer card - here's a closer look:
