This card is for a coworker's daughter. She's missing the end of her senior year of high school, so I wanted to make her a special graduation card. Today's bookmark challenge was great for a special card. I made this detachable bookmark by printing out her school's logo and using my ScanNCut to eclipse a 2020 into it. The "Soaring Higher" slogan inspired the cloudy sky background and flying grad caps. I wanted to make sure that the bookmark stood out against the cloudy sky, so that's why I chose kraft for it. I colored the eagle with white colored pencil and white Signa pen to make it pop. Then I cut a cloud border for the bottom that I could tuck the bookmark into. I also stuck with that "soaring" theme with the PTI sentiment on the bottom clouds.
I stamped "You Are Awesome" as a surprise on the back of the bookmark and stenciled some stars.

Great idea! I feel so bad for these kids who should have all the perks of a graduation ceremony and fun senior trip etc. This is all so unfair for them! I so hope they can do something at a later date if possible!
Beautiful gift!

Pretty and unique card with a book marker, sure this will be appreciated, I feel so sad too for all the kids all over the world, who cannot finish their school year, it's great to think about them and to put them in the spotlights!!

What a great graduation card ! It is a shame that none of the kids are having graduation this year. I have to make my grandson a grad card as he is going into high school in the fall. Awesome card, Jen! TFS
