I made this card for Cristina's (Nicholas' nanny's) daughter, who is graduating from high school this weekend. I actually created something similar for Leah's grad (featuring pink, since our present theme was "Legally Blonde"), but figured out a couple cool things this time around...
I colored in the cap with a Souffle pen first, and then filled it in with Martha Stewart's Glitter Flocking Powder in a very similar color. It created a nice 3D effect! I learned that those flocking powders have the most impact when using on a similarly colored surface. Then a little dot of glitter glue and voila!
I am so not a fan of my handwriting, so I traced the words on the inside of the card directly from the computer screen. I actually first used a Martha Stewart glitter pen, but then I decided to emboss a few stars on each side of the wording. In the process, I ended up inadvertently embossing over the glitter pen but really liked how it came out.
Nicholas was also feeling crafty today with his new markers....
