My mother in law needed two graduation cards for twins (a boy and girl) that both graduated high school this past week. My mother in law wanted two cards that were similar but yet different. This is the card that I made for the girl. I used the school colors: red, black, and white.
I used my Cricut to cut out the GRAD letters and I stamped and cut out the graduation cap using SU's Little Layers Plus stamp set.
The sentinment is from SU's Live Your Dream stamp set and the year 2009 is stamped using SU's All Around Alphabet Number stamp set.
I added some dots along the top and bottom main panel of my card and I also did some paper piercing along the edges of the real red paper, but it's hard to see in the picture.
My ribbon is from Offray.
The card that I ended up making for the boy can be seen here:
