Graduation 2013



Needed a graduation card for my niece and used 2 challenges for inspiration in the making of it.
Used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!
And the theme "Congratulations" from CAS-ual Fridays

And it also is a fit for the challenge at Sweet Stamp Shop 
 

 
 
 

This was really hard to get a decent photo of due to the gold foil 2013 stickers, which have been in my stash for many years and had not been used.  Painted a wooden star with yellow acrylic paint then stamped the fireworks image with Memento Nautical Blue, then went over it with a blue metallic gel pen for a little more shine.  Added strips of washi tape to white cardstock and die cut with a pennant die.  Cardstock used:  Gina K Wild Dandelion and Denim, Neenah Solar White.
 
Thanks for visiting!

What a great combination of challenges. Those pennants are awesome and I loved how you stamped over your painted star. Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
