This was created for my grandson who is graduating from Michigan State University in May.  Pretty clean, simple and masculine.  Stamped the letters with a dark green ink and added the outline numbers using a metallic green for the outline and some green vellum for the inside.  Added the Tim Holtz grad hat from the Crazy Birds accessories set.  Matted on to a dark green and put it together on a white card base.
