It's graduation time. Thus the theme of my card :)  I used the graduation cap stamp from DeNami Design and colored it with my Copics. You may notice that I left the date on top "open" - I figured I could add it when I actually know of a grad card recipient, LOL! See the cute little tassel? I made it out of bakers twine. Let me just say, I am DIGGING gingham lately and I just HAD to use it on this card!!! I stamped it tone on tone for a more subtle pattern. 

I definitely took a few "creative liberties" with Pam's sketch - I hope not too many :) That's what I love about sketches though - interpretation is the name of the game (guess you could say the same for just about any challenge, now that I think about it LOL!). Hope you'll give this fabby sketch a try!

Hope you'll help us extend a warm welcome to our May guest designer, the SUPER TALENTED, Clare Buswell. Her creations are GORGEOUS and we're so glad she's able to share her talent with us this month!!!! Welcome Clare!!!!
