The Card Concept

I stamped the butterflies in H/A Ombre Inks which really didn't get too much of the ombre look.  Then I used a stencil over it and sponged with Distress Inks.  I love how that turned out.

Some Graduation Cards & Brennan's Graduation

 

 

I almost forgot the most important one.  This is for my grandson, Brennan who will be graduating from 6th grade on Tuesday.  This is a Stampin Up stamp that I usually pair with balloons for a birthday card, but thought it would be perfect for throwing up his cap.

So Thursday, I got a request for some graduation and Father's Day cards.  I have a box of my cards at my Dentist office.  So like a crazy women, I have been making graduation cards today.  I don't have any stamps so looked for free digi stamps and also found some on clip art.  I colored the owls and some of the caps yesterday and then went to town today putting them together.  Thanks goodness for pattern paper to put these together quickly.

Now I need to make some Father's Day cards.  Not sure if that will go as easily.

I found this flower already colored with Copics in my stash so decided I should use it.  Since it is so vibrant I thought it would look really nice behind some vellum.
