I was asking my daughter about what kind of TY cards she wanted for her graduation. She was saying she wanted flowers, not butterflies or the hot air balloons. I was feeling kind of deflated, cuz I was wanting more flexibility than that. ;) But, at the same time it made me want to be a little more original with her graduation card from our family. So, I came up with the one on the left for her. I mentioned that we couldn't wait to see what was on the horizon for her. The second card was a failed attempt to an inside version for her card. But, I didn't want to waste it, so kept going. I can't tell you how many things I messed up on this one, but I'm happy with it in the end. For Grace's card I was too chicken to attempt the stamping for the water, but with this second one I went for it. At the very end I stamped the water stamp with Tumbled Glass over top of all of my sponging. I loved how it turned out!

My goodness, what gorgeous thank you cards these are. Won't the recipients be surprised when they receive these beauties in the mail. Your sponging is absolutely flawless, and boy was I shocked when I realized what stamp set you used to achieve this island look. Wow! I love both cards, but I think I prefer the one with the look of the waves in the water, but only by a smidge because they are both so gorgeous. ~Karen.
