Did you say banners? I love banners! I use them a lot for sentiments but this time I just used a banner for the header. It's a multi-part die w/ several layers for the banner and a bunch of little tassels to go w/ it.
The images are from DRS Designs. The huge sentiment was stamped w/ the cobalt ink and layered a couple of times. The background is a Congrats label/envelope label but I stamped it so the blank middle was behind the main layer and doesn't show. I inked it w/ the summer sky then used a cobalt marker to highlight a few words here and there. Added the banner layers and tassels and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished!
Thanks so much for looking! I'll have it on my blog in just a bit: The Write Stuff

Julie, what a FABULOUS graduation card. I like how you carried the "tassel" motif onto your banner points....really makes for a regal effect. The cobalt, light aqua and white are great together.
