Hi friends! I'm popping in today with a few graduation cards featuring the new Way to Go stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. One set, three ways.
For this first card, I was scrolling through pinterest and saw a bunch of mushroom images watercolored with all colors of the rainbow. I decided I wanted to give it a go. I haven't done anything but color with Copics for a while, so it was fun pulling out my Kuretake Real Brush Clean Color markers.
I started by stamping the grad hat from Way to Go in no line fadeout ink, then masking it off and stamping the flowers from the My Savior's Love set. I then used the markers in a rainbow of colors, blending with a waterbrush to get that rainbow feel. Once I was done with that, I pulled off the mask and watercolored the hat and tassel.
I chose a gel print clean up page I had in my stash to lay the image down and then embossed the Congratulations sentiment in black below the image. I chose another background from my stash to mat it, and finished off with a teal card base.
Next up is a mini slimline card. I stamped the hat from Way to Go, then masked it off and stamped the girl from A Little Snarky. I colored with copics, then cut out with my Brother Scan 'n Cut. I love that the Way to Go Die Set cuts out most of the sentiments, making it easy to layer the sentiment and diploama below. A little patterned paper and a few enamel dots and I was done.
The final card combines the Way to Go set with the Decorative Frames set. I first stamped the frame in red ink, then cut with the coordinating die. Next I stamped the stars from Way to Go in either corner. The we're so proud of you sentiment is die cut and popped up in the center. I added the diploma image in the corner. A couple of red designer paper prints finish off the layout.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fabulous start to your week!
