Hi there, fellow Crafters! Just want to share this A2 card that I made for a relative whose grand-daughter is graduating from high school this year. I don't remember making a lot of graduation cards. In fact, I think this is my second card with this theme. Anyway, I decided to use an image from Saturated Canary Collection called "Nevaeh." (Finally, I am able to use one of the images I bought from her...LOL) I think she pretty much fit the description she told me her grand-daughter is like. I used my Promarker/Prismacolor Markers to color this pretty image. I did not use any DP here instead, I used my Cuttlebug to emboss a couple of the panels for added dimension. All CS are Kraft colored. The "Celebration" sentiment is from Heidi Grace Stamps, the brackets from Inkadinkado and the message sentiment is from "The Ultimate Guide to a Perfect Card" book that I printed in the computer together with a "Happy Graduation" greeting. I included several gems (variety of colors), some glitters (Stickes) to her dress and stitched all over the card. I thought this card came out beautifully. This Card is entered into the following Challenges:
1. Creative Card Crew featuring "Dimension"

Oh well, tomorrow is the last day of our Bible Class on Ethics and will have a few months break before starting another study. Hopefully, that would mean I would be able to craft more...LOL. I am looking forward to this and thanking the Lord Jesus for all the opportunities to bless His name through the avenue of creating. Okay, I got to study for my finals. Hope you can all leave me a comment as I enjoy reading them...Hugs and blessings!
Lovely card.

What a beautiful easel card. I love the gorgeous embossed neutral 'canvas' and then the accented pop of colors from your outstanding SC image. That really highlights the purpose of the card.:) It's wonderful.
