Playing in Paradise #66

Happy Friday Everyone - it is time for a new Playing in Paradise challenge. This week our inspiration is Graduation & Encouragement.

Class of 2012 is pretty important in our household, our son has his graduation ceremony in less than a month.

I have had a small stash of graduation designer papers for a couple of years and I have had plenty of idea's for cards in my head as well. I wanted the card to match the 3D grad cap though and I just started putting layers together, I am happy with the end result.

I learned to make tassles too :) I heat embossed the stamped grad cap then cut them out, I added the small tassle then popped it up with foam tape.

I love this Graduation cap from SVG Cuts, I think I may fill it with jelly beans :). The tutorial made it look so easy to put it together. I think there is a reason I ahould stick with making cards.

The 3D cap is not very big. I took a picture of card and cap beside each other to give you and idea of sizes, the card is standard A2.

Supplies: Natural Ivory, red and black cardstock, Designer Paper-Reminisce, TPC-Graduation, SVG Cuts- Graduation cap, red embossing thread, misc brads, Candy dots.
