Another Graduation Card

I tried to post this on Thursday, May 12th, but Blogger was down most of the day.  I am re-posting it today for those of you who missed it!

I needed some graduation cards for boys, so I re-vamped a card from last year:


I opened up my saved file on my Gypsy and changed one of the 0s to a 1.  I cut out the numbers in white with a shadow in black.  The numbers are from Plantin Schoolbook and are cut at 2.23h.

I found some school themed paper at a local craft shop and used it for my rectangles behind the numbers.

I could not decide between a white, black or silver background...

Silver looked the best.  Since this card is for a boy, I did not want to put ribbon or gems on it.  It was still missing something though.

I found some 3D stickers at Michaels and put one right in the center.

Thanks for joining me today!!
