It's that time of the year when Seniors are embarking on a new adventure- COLLEGE. Today our blogger's challenge theme is GRADUATION. I was able to create a few graduation cards, so I'll be sharing 2 similar ones today.
I was inspired by my friend Beth Matson's cards with her banner, although mine turned out so much larger than hers did. I love her layout and the use of patterned papers.
The Play Date Cafe Challenge this week is black, white with a splash of mustard- so I went with those colors. Over at the Great Impressions Challenge (new to me) the challenge was anything goes.
Both of my cards use the same products and similar designs. I masked the sentiment - love these blooms from Amuse! For my 2nd card I decided not to off set the banner but instead cut the card down to fit the banner so this card is only 2 1/4" wide, but I love the different size!
Join us over at Blogger's Challenge today, would love to see your ideas for Graduation.
