Fab Grad

Congratulations to Harriet Skelly,

the lucky winner of yesterday's

Stamp a Day Giveaway!

She has won Brush Mortarboard which is the featured image on the card I am sharing with you today.

See the wonderful Mortarboard image on top of the greeting? That's the one! Here I stamped it in black onto watercolor paper then floated in some dye reinkers. When it dried, I used a white gel pen to add some lines inside the black lines and cut it out. I used the same reinkers on the background after white embossing the grad image background stamp and also on the formerly white ribbon.

The sentiment is made up of parts of two different images. I used a stamp positioner to put them where I wanted and cut it out with a Labels 4 Nestie. I used markers to add a little highlighting to the individual words. I used the other grad circle image on a piece of white shrink plastic, cut it with a circle Nestie and used my heat tool to shrink it. Did it ever shrink! It started out about 3" across and now it's only about 1 1/4".
