So, I guess you might want to see what I came up with, huh? I a going to be in need of a few graduation cards this upcoming season, so I got a jump on them by creating this. I used a selection of card stocks I had bought at a show, Stamped my images with Versafine ink, and colored with Copics. Mat, mat, mat, snip, snip, snip, a few dimensionals and opaque black gems, and my card is complete!
Hope you are having a marvelous weekend. My DH is on vacation until Tuesday and we are working on our bathroom remodeling job. Have you ever had to paint a room 2x cause the color you thought you liked was horrible on the walls? Don't ask! Just a little setback, but a bit of an expensive lesson. Who ever thought that a robin's egg blue could look florescent?

Hey, girl, I've had a bad experience with a blue wall too! It looked like it matched the stripe in the bedspread perfectly!!!!
This will be a great card for someone who is throwing up the old graduation cap this year!! Love all those colored diamond shapes.
Marry Anne, your bright fun card brings out the excitement of graduation!! Love your take on the sketch, so creative.

Wow! What a great card! You did a fantastic job with the sketch challenge!
Your card is wonderful! And how clever to get your graduation cards made up in advance! The Kits sound really cool - may have to check them out! I do know exactly what you are saying about your paint. When we were doing our bathroom, I picked out a beautiful gold paint for the upper walls. Started painting it on and it looked like a messy diaper color....ewwwww..... took three rounds of paint before we could stomach the walls. Tee hee. Good luck!
Killer cool graduation card! You paid attention in art class! Huge bummer having to paint twice, been there, done that! It will be worth it in the end!
wow! this is fantastic! love how you used the background stamp AND the graduation cap....just featured this over on the Unity FB page!
Beautiful card! Love how you used these stamps together and the fantastic vibrant coloring!
Fabulous card Maryann, love the design of the diamonds.
Mary Anne,
WOW what a beautiful stand out this card will be. I love the design you used. Believe me I know about wall color. I'm still trying to decide if I like the bathroom. LOL No hubby has not finished it yet. I'm hoping the weekend of the 23rd because I'm off that weekend.
love these bold colors and those grad hats are great!
careful on fumes... don't want anyone getting "dizzy" KWIM!
last time I painted I got such a horrible headache...now its all up to the DH ! or else we will pay someone
(cheaply) LOL
yes I've done that too! My hubby painted the entire ceiling before I realized I hated the color! I'm sure it will turn out great though when you're finished. I LOVE this card with those colorful diamonds and mortarboards!! Great grad card! Have a super week!
