Congratulations (Graduation Cap card)

Hi everyone! A couple weeks ago I shared some great news about being invited back to guest design for Fantasy Stampers Challenge Blog this month. I'm super excited to share my second inspiration project this month - this one is for the Midway Motivation Post for Challenge #67 - Clean and Simple! Come play with us!

I had the best time creating this graduation card. It was really easy and sure packs a big punch. I stamped a large sentiment across the bottom and added trios of glitter dots around the letters. I created the tassel from white metallic string and attached it with a tiny black brad.

I stayed with a simple black and white color combo with some stamped pink lace on the inside of the mortarboard, and added a magnet closure.

The inside sentiment is from the same Paper Smooches stamp set. :)

Here's a close-up of the stamped pink lace - the background stamp is from Great Impressions and I just love it! ;)

I adhered a blank white panel on the back for signing and a handwritten note.
