Graduation Card


I put my hands up straight away and admit that I do not make cards. I make mini books and even if I say so myself, I make quite nice mini books - I do not make nice cards. This being said, I have DS graduating in September and 2 other kids he grew up with graduating in a couple of weeks. I paid a lovely cardmaker to do DS's card for me ;) but hiccupped at the expense of ordering 2 more!! So I made a couple of grad cards.... they are not in the same league as DS's card but they will do - I hope!! :) I bought the Pink Persimmon wise old owl stamps as soon as saw them - cute or what? ;) Embossed the stamped images in gold and then layered the wings, eyes and cap with another set of embossed images.

    Don't do yourself down Annette, that's a lovely card. Be proud of it.
    You're right in one thing you say tough, you do make VERY nice mini books.

    That is a beautiful card Annette, really and truly it is. I'd love to get a card like that, far nicer than a shop bought one x

    It is a very nice card. I can't stand card making. No idea why but I hate doing it.

    I love the lav people.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
