It's Graduation Time!

 Hello TGF friends!! 

I'm on the TGF blog today sharing a couple of graduation cards using the incredible Graduation stamp set (temporarily out of stock). 



May is the month of graduations and this year we have so many friends whose kids are graduating, either from high school or college! I've been busy making these cards and this set is just the perfect one!



These ones were done for high school girls, two of them are twins and it was fun to add 2 little Anyas to celebrate them. 



The colors red and yellow are the school colors.  The designs are just a little different.  All images were colored with Copic markers, die cut and raised with foam adhesive.  The backgrounds were done with a splatter stencil and inked with Distress Oxides.  I stamped various times several of the sentiments that come in this set.   The year was done with die cut numbers. 


Happy Graduations!! Thanks for stopping by! 


Hugs

Paperie Ink: Bubbles of Fun

 Hello

I've colored these cuties a while back and never got a chance to create a card with them until now.  

They are from Paperie Ink Hello Spring set.  They have the cutest stamp sets!! 



I decided on a slimline card and also used the slimline dies from Mama Elephant and the bubbles border die from Lawn Fawn



I started by ink blending the background with Distress Oxide Inks. I then stenciled some bubbles in white. Added the bubble border to which I added glitter on the edges of the bubbles.  All the creatures were colored with Copic markers, die cut with my Scan & Cut and raised with foam adhesive.   It was such a fun card to create!  




Thanks for stopping by! 

Hugs
