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.
