It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  Amanda whipped up a fantastic sketch so be sure to give it a try.

I started with alternating damask designs in dapper denim and lemon lime twist ink.

I ran the card thru the linen impression plate and then added the sentiment and some dots and rhinestones.

Clean and simple but I love it!  Be sure to link up HERE to play along!

Happy Monday! It’s graduation time and that means I needed to whip up a few cards in short order! I am using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to help me out with this little project!

I started by heat embossing the image in white. Then using my zig clean color markers, I watercolored the bottom of the gowns, legs and shoes. On my first attempt I used clear embossing but you couldn’t tell what I was making!

I added the sentiment and then layered on the night of navy cardstock. The sparkle is a piece of glitter tape. That stuff is awesome!

I made two cards in the blue, white, silver combo and another in gold, brown, and yellow for another young grad.

I was pretty happy with these but mostly how easy the zig markers were to use. In fact, you will see several watercolored cards from me this week because of that!

A huge thank you to Jen T. at Freshly Made Sketches for picking THIS card as a Perfect Princess! I was more than surprised and thrilled!

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to stop in tomorrow – it’s time for a new Retro Rubber Challenge!

Supplies: CS: Watercolor paper. SU! night of navy. PTI kraft. Stamps: SU! go graduate. PTI for the graduate. Other: SU! glitter tape. Zig clean color markers.

Happy Monday!  Today I am sharing the graduation card I made for a couple of gals who graduated from high school.  I hadn’t used my texture paste in a while so I thought that would make a great background for my card.

I started with translucent embossing paste and my tiles stencil to make the design on the midnight muse cardstock.  While waiting for the paste to dry, I dug out my PTI retro style graduation stamps and dies.  I stamped the images in midnight muse onto the white CS and then die cut the image.  Then I stamped the sentiment in versamark so that I could silver emboss it.  Our colors are blue and white with some silver.  So I added my silver in with the embossing, rhinestones and metallic thread.

After looping my thread around the sign, I popped it onto the card front and added the sentiment.  I scattered rhinestones on there for a bit of bling and put everything on a card base of white.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to check in tomorrow, the new Retro Rubber challenge starts!
