I have almost TWENTY graduation cards to make this year! DD is a senior and she's my first to participate in school at the high school (I'd homeschooled the first 3 all the way through) attending full time this year after taking a couple of classes last year in order to be able to swim on the high school team. At any rate-she jumped in with both feet and she's made a big impact and a bunch of friends.I thought Ally's sketch would be super for my need. When I make more of these I'll stamp, emboss and then cut! This time around I cut my strips, notched the ends using the arrow punch, laid them out together and then stamped in Versamark. I embossed in white. I punched my circle in Vellum and stamped in Stazon masking to leave just a strip so only the sentiment would stamp. I adhered this with a glue dot and added my graduation cap sticker.

Fantastic way to do a grad card, and now that you've designed it, you can probably whip out 20 - lol! That great flourish (which I will keep forever) pops in the white, and I love your sentiment and cap done on vellum - into my faves!
