Graduation Card

Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog.

I made a card recently for a young man about to graduate from High School. The background stamp is from Unity Stamps and Brutus Monroe and is called "Hit the Brick."  I used Brutus Monroe "Wagon" ink on the stamp and stamped it twice using my MISTI.

Then I stamped the young man in the graduation cap and gown using the Unity Stamp "You Did Good" Stamp set.  I colored the young man with a variety of alcohol markers including: Copic Sketch and Nuvo.  

The graduate's school colors are red and black, so I used my Copic Alcohol Marker #R46: Strong Red.  I used a dark gray to color the cap and gown and since his hair color is black I used black for his hair. 

The "You Did Good" stamp set also includes the sentiment "Congratulations Couldn't Be More Proud of You."  I stamped the sentiment using Brutus Monroe Raven Detail Ink.  

After coloring the image and die cutting the sentiment with a banner die, I used foam tape to mount both the sentiment and the image to the red brick wall card panel.  I then mounted it on black card stock.  I think this card looks great and I hope you will agree!  Thanks for stopping by my blog.
