Unfortunately, like so many others in the class of 2020, my son won't be having a graduation ceremony, so I wanted his card to be extra special!
My design inspiration came from Sketch #537 at Mojo Monday!
My design inspiration came from Sketch #537 at Mojo Monday!
To make the background, I smooshed some Lindy's Gang Sprays (Afternoon Delight Denim and Cathedral Pines Green) together onto a piece of white cardstock. After drying, I used a die cut circle as a mask, sprayed around it with the same colors, and added touches and splatters of Distress Spray Stain (Brushed Pewter). Then I embossed the stitched circles with Emerald Creek Embossing Powders (Midnight Sky and Burmese Jade), also used on the star and edges. Congrats was done with some old chipboard letters covered with black gesso and embossed with EC (Mirror Platinum) Embossing Powder, giving it some awesome shine! The rest of the sentiment was done with some Thickers.
Emerald Creek (Mirror Platinum) was also embossed around the card base, made from grey cardstock, and to the star.
Thanks for looking, and congrats to all of the classes of 2020!

I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm sure that your son will love the card. The background is awesome and I love the shiny letters, the die cuts and stamped images you added. Thanks for sharing your card with the Daring Cardmakers this week.
