Fun Sketch Challenge today! I thought this grad girl circle would be perfect for the sketch, but I did mirror image the sketch so she wouldn't be holding her diploma off the edge of the card.
After stamping her, I added a bit of color w/ Copics and used my out of the box technique on her & added 3 more graduated (pun intended, lol) sizes of circles behind her.
I stamped a graduation bg on the turquoise layer & used an embossing folder on the horizontal band. Some sequins were added for the little doodads on the sketch.
Thanks so much for looking! I'll have it on my blog after dinner: The Write Stuff

I really like this, Julie. It seems several of us thought "graduation" when we saw this sketch :-). Love the colors, your stamping of the caps & diplomas on your side panel. Great card.

Love your pun, but not as much as this wonderful grad card. Great layers and colors, and so neat with her holding the diploma out of the box like that. Will be a great keepsake for the hard working grad...TFS..:0)

Love how all those layered circles really puts this graduate the center of attention. Like a target and this little lady has met her target!!!
