The Stamping Boutique Challenge "Graduation"

It's that time again where I share with you another challenge d  card for the Stamping Boutique . This week's challenge is Graduation. I used TSB image AJ the graduate  I really love how this card turned out! I'm loving the chevron pattern I used on the card. Chevron patterns are very popular right now.  To create the chevron piece I used the Heidi Swapp stencil kit.  I used 'My Favorite Things' Hybrid ink "Blu Rasberry". I really love the color of this ink. I colored the image with my copic and spectrum noir markers.  The sentiment is from the Micheal's $1 bin. It's a bit blurry as it was hard to pick up the sentiment on camera since it's stamped on velum it says "Sending congrats your way" The base of the card is dark blue and to finish it off I put some blue half pearls. Now it's your turn to participate.  Graduation season is upon us or coming up in June so get crafty with us and create a card or project for the l...
