Stenciled Graduation Card

Just when I thought I was done with getting graduation announcements two more came into my mail box. So I made a quick card today using a stencil and some dies and a sentiment. I really like the look of this one and since this is for a young lady I more or less catered to more feminine colors.


I took a sheet of white card stock and stenciled on the design which is one of Gina K. Designs stencils called Water Droplets. I then added that stenciled panel to a white card stock base. Next I took the sentiment from the Gina K. Designs Lettered and Lovely stamp set and stamped that in black. I added a few droplet looking elements from that same set in various colors around that sentiment before I die cut it with the Gina K. Designs Small Rectangle Double Stitched die. I added this to a die cut rectangle using Gina's Large Single Stitched Rectangle die of Dusty Pink card stock. My jumping young lady graduate is from an Impression Obsession die set. It also has a young man die but I only used the  young lady one. My last addition to the card was to add some black rhinestone bling.

This was a really easy and fun card to do. And, I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment design as that way I could re-stamp the designs if I needed and they would be perfectly aligned.

I am entering this in the Scrapy Land Challenge #89-Anything Goes.

Well, our weather has turned to a more chilly type. And, we are getting rain showers quite often too. Just a few days ago it was in the 80's and now it is highs in the 50's to low 60's. And, windy today too. So I thought it a great time to stay inside.

While I am here I want to send you a reminder that soon the Spring and Summer Coffee Lovers event will be going on. So maybe if you find time you can make a few projects for that event. There are always lots of prizes to be given out so it is worth entering. I know it is a busy time of year but I hope to get a few projects made for it.


You have a great rest of the week. Thanks for the visit and for all your wonderful comments. Until next time, take care.

God bless,
Verna

This is beautiful stenciling, Verna. I love the silhouette of the girl. This is a great grad card. I didn't think I had any graduations this year and then I got an invitation in the mail!

You're just full of great ideas, Verna! This is young, bright, exciting, and just perfect for a graduating girl. I appreciate the notice about the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. First time I've ever heard about it ahead of time, so maybe I'll be able to play along this time. Thank you!

Fabulous card, Verna. I still remember when I graduated and it feels great to throw your hat and leap up in the air. I don't think I could do that now without falling over! Too old now, I guess...lol
