Praying for you card with a collage background, a die cut image of a tomato plant and a little layered greeting


 I am making up a few cards for my stash and started with this Praying for you card.  I found the background in my stash and adhered it to a dark green card.  The tomato plant image was die cut from a panel from a used card and I layered it with a soft green die cut cirdle.  I mounted this focal element to my card just overlapping the lace using 3D foam tape.  I colour washed my little font greeting (Word Window - SU) to help it blend and then mounted it to a dark green label punchie (Modern Label punch - SU) which I also mounted with 3D foam tape.

Graduation card featuring an embossed panel and a digital graduation greeting with a cap and tassel

I had an inquiry about graduation cards so I have decided to make up a few.  It certainly is the season for those events. 

I started with a rust card and added the rust and aqua decorative paper which left a small margin all the way around.  I added an aqua flagged panel embossed with Scripty (SU) and then worked on my greeting.  The greeting was sized, laser printed and trimmed to size.  I watercoloured the cap and added a tassel.  I trimmed the bottom edge with scallop decorative scissors and then pierce each scallop with a push pin. Next, I added an embossed line with my score tool.  For a little more texture I ran my pattern tracing tool on the three remaining sides.  I trimmed a rust layer for it and then mounted them onto my card front with 3D foam tape.
