I love royal blue, red and silver in combination so this was real easy for me. All the colors were in her announcement! I started with Bazzil cardstock, added some metallic silver paper and a red and white checker print design paper and floral print. Believe it or not the DP came from a Christmas pack by SEI called Winter Song. Mom and I went nuts to find it this past Christmas because it was full of soft blues and reds. Love it! I think Katie's graduation gown will be red but it looked much nicer to compliment my design papers if I did it in blue. So I compromised and added the red sash to tie it all together. I don't really think Katie will care that the gown isn't the right color. Do you?
As usual, I stamped Diplomabella from Stamping Bella on Neenah Classic Crest cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored her with Copics and added shading with prismacolor pencils and gamsol to blend. I used Lindabella's tip of shading the outer edges with VersaMagic Wheat chalk ink.
Jeaniebella and Paulabella have been adding ribbon through loopholes on their iamge panels and I gave that a try. Love it! It "ties" it together instead of hiding behind the panel. Yum - thanks girls! One of my favorite parts of this card is the High School Insignia I added in a Nestibilitie classic circle.
Recycling more of the announcement I decorated the inside of the card with the pencil drawing of the school and the inspirational sentiment.
I hope that Katie takes more than one step to find her future!
Thanks for stopping by! I've got a few more things to show you this week so stop back in a day or two.
