Graduation Challenge! #TGIFC03

 Just a quick Graduation card for the #TGIFC03 Challenge this week!

 

I had no one to send Graduation cards to this year, so I hadn't made any in a while... I wanted to do something classic looking...so this design was born!

 

(I love it soo much that I may make a few for my first vendor event in June...even though most graduations will be past by then...maybe someone will want one for next year or someone they forgot to send a card to!?!)

 

I used a Gold Glimmer Brad, but I dipped it in Versamark ink, embossed it with gold embossing powder & then dipped it in the gold glitter while it was still warm!

Gotta love the SHIMMER!!!!!

I also hand-made the tassel with white Baker's Twine. Very difficult to do with such a teeny tiny tassel, but soooooo worth the work! (I will find an easier way to make these if I decide to do more than just a handful of them...) 

 This close-up is just to show the glitter (top stripe) vs the glimmer paper (bottom stripe & stars). I did burnish the glitter into some Sookwang tape...I think that helps it look a little nicer & it doesn't get caught on everything & fall off as easily.

 

Supply list is below. Be sure to ask if you have any questions!
