Little Graduate - Digi Darla Challenge #60

Hello! 

It's time for another challenge over at Digi Darla's Challenges, and this week's theme is Challenge #60 - "Celebrate!", which can mean any occasion for which one celebrates, be it a birthday, graduation, etc.  One winner will receive 5 Digi Darla images, and any entries using a DD image get entered into a SECOND drawing for 3 images, so you could conceivably win 8, yes, eight Digi Darla images!  It's happened before!

 If you use a Digi Darla image, make sure after you link up to add DD with your name so we won't miss you!  

You have until May 4, 9:00 PM EST, to link up to the Digi Darla website.


My card today is a graduation card and features the stamp "Grad Girl" in honor of my daughter, who will be graduating from college on May 10th.  Hooray!!  She and I will be so glad when she doesn't have to make the long commute anymore, not to mention she will finally have some free time on her hands considering she also works full time.

Isn't she cute?  Now to find a stamp showing a parent jumping up and down with glee and shouting,"It's over!  Woohoooo!!!"

*ahem*

I've colored her with Copics in her school colors of burgundy and white.  The background on the white layer consists of swirls stamped with Versamark and then dusted with white Perfect Pearls.

I fussy cut the mortarboard and popped it up.

The diploma is vellum tied with a bit of gold cord.

A red satin bow and some red rhinestones finish this little card off.

Thank you for taking the time to join me, and if you have a graduate in your family, kudos to you for getting through it and surviving! 

Happy crafting!

I just love that embossed background layer, so pretty. The contrast of the white and burgandy is so cool too. Love what you did with the hat and adding the little diploma too. Your daughter I'm sure will love it. Congrats to her for such an achievement.

Hugs,
