It started with a sketch ...



and ended with a card...a graduation card that is.


Stamps:  The Graduate (Stampabilities)
Paper:  Confetti White, Pumpkin Pie, Early Expresso
DSP:  Pumpkin Pie (retired)
Ink:  Memento Black
Accessories:  circle cutter, corner rounder; Non-SU brads, Prisma Markers
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

The brown and orange that I used for this card are the school colors.  I wanted something that was not bulky to mail and simple to make for mass producing. This sketch was the perfect solution for that!

I tried to make this cute little mouse masculine since I had used the stamp for Bethany's graduation announcement card also.  Sure didn't want Michael to think he was getting a girl mouse on his card. Think it worked???  Below is the card that I made for Bethany's graduation back in 2009.  


I hope you will find some time to play around at the Pals Paper Arts with this great sketch!

Have a great day,
Pam~

Pam, this is just a super, grad card. Love that graduating mouse. Bethany's card was super sweet and, yes, Michael's is much more masculine. Love it. Good job.
