I've two graduation ceremonies to attend this week. This is a card I made for our sweet great-niece Kristin, who is graduating from high school this Friday. The school's colors are red, blue, and white which is the reason for the colors I chose. I wanted a more feminine feel, so I chose to include some flowers. The card is based on one by Debbie Olsen seen here. I colored the dahlia with Copics, and I wanted to color the scallops blue, but I didn't have the right color of blue Copic; I guess I'll just have to add dark blue Copic to my shopping list.
Supplies:
Stamps: For the Graduate, Delightful Dahlia(PTI); Cling Write Your Own(Hero Arts)
Ink: Pure Poppy(PTI); Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Paper: Vintage Cream, Pure Poppy(PTI); Petite Papers-Postcards from Paris & Sweet as Cherry Pie(Webster's Pages)
Other: Delightful Dahlia Dies (PTI),ribbon(Hobby Lobby)
