Graduation

Its Graduation week here for our daughter...Grade 9 grad is this Friday, so today's There She Goes Challenge theme - celebrating special momentous occasions is perfect!  I'm making a few cards to celebrate our daughter's friends she'll be graduating with as well...


I really love this TSG set Aim for the Clouds.  It has such pretty elements with the balloons and scenery, and it's sentiments are so perfect for an event like this.  I've colored up the fields and mountains and sky with Copic Markers (BG11, BG53, W1, W2, W3, G12, G21, G24, G29, G40, G82, G85, G94, BV0000, BV000) and then added the popped up clouds.  


I used my Scor Pal and the Scor Bug to add scoring lines on the top half of the card and then used my sponge with some Cool Caribbean ink and added some soft blue to the raised bumps.  Pretty silk ribbon and button accents and some gel pen "thread" and it's one grad card down!

So join us on the challenge too, you can win TSG $$ for the store!  Details are here on the TSG Blog.  

Stamps:  TSG - Aim for the Clouds;  Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Cool Caribbean;  Paper:  Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Flourishes Classic White, Wasabi Prints DSP;  Accessories:  Big Shot, Ribbon Banners Shapeabilities, Copic Markers, Silk Ribbon, Buttons, White Gel Pen, Dimensionals, Sponge, Scor Pal, Scor Bug, Glue Dots

This is one of my favortie sets...I love how you put this altogether. I am a 2nd grade teacher and it's so hard to watch my babies move onto the next grade and I'm just the teacher - I can't imagine how you parents feel.
