Graduation Congrats - 2 Ways

If you're scrambling for some last-minute grad card ideas, stay tuned this week and next!  I'll show you a few cards I've made recently.

This card follows a fun, easy sketch and zeroes in on the grad's school colors.  It's pretty easy to put together - and the focal point image gets extra attention when you attach it using Dimensionals.

Happy Easter, Everybunny!

Easter is finally coming soon!  All this wintery weather has gotten me to forget that!  This little dudette makes a sweet Easter greeter.  I made this card at a DOstamping class in February, and I really like how it turned out!

The glittery look comes from what Dawn Olchefske calls the Faux Diamond Dust technique.  It's pretty easy with Versamark ink and Iridescent Ice embossing powder!  And the raised, embossed design is gently sponged with Pool Party ink.

And the sweet little tulle flowers start out ivory and can be colored any shade you wish!  Just use a marker, blend with a blender pen, and attach with Gluedots.  I made my really blue - but you can use less marker to just barely tint the edges.
