For the Inspiration Challenge, Angie chose really cute place w/ a big heart. I chose THIS as my inspiration because I knew I had a similar greeting. I didn't have a similar cute reindeer that I could use so I used a pig w/ a big grin.
Normally, this pig image has a party hat along w/ a balloon but since I fussy cut him, I cut off the party hat. The small balloon was stamped again w/ lt blue ink, colored & fussy cut. All the other balloons were made by die cutting 2 sizes of balloons in a piece of copy paper & using the negative as a stencil. After I sponged the Distress inks thru the stencil I added some Wink of Stella to some of them. The greeting was stamped at the bottom & I used Copics to make the shadow underneath. A few grad caps & some drawn balloon strings & I was done.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a fun graduating pig Julie! he makes me smile just looking at his smile! We chose the same print for inspiration today using different animals to hold our balloons! Lovely sparkle and bold sentiment!

I love the transparent look to the balloons and the big is too cute. The big sentiment in the corner is terrific and really enhances the design. Great graduation card.
