Hey There Verve fans! It's Jackie here with day three on the Sizzlin' Summer Fun Project Parade! When I sat down to figure out what to do for my project I couldn't come up with anything! Stamper's block, I guess! But just the other day I had a friend ask me to make a graduation card for a teen girl whose school colors were blue and gold. I was stumped so I sat down and took out the new set Happy Days and knew exactly what to do!!
I about screamed when I saw there was a graduation sentiment in this set! I pulled out my new FAVORITE dp from October Afternoon, Thrift Shop and found these perfect papers to use! The "have a happy" is one stamp and I wanted each word to be a different color, so I simply masked the words with scotch tape and stamped them in the colors that I chose to coordinate with the patterned paper, Summer Sunrise (PTI) and Not Quite Navy (SU!). They were stamped on a piece of patterned paper that I later cut out with Circle Nestabilities. The large gorgeous flourish was stamped in Not Quite Navy, cut out with paper snips and popped up for some dimension. I used my favorite technique on the ribbon by ruffling it. The Hibiscus flower is the new Hibiscus Plain Jane and was stamped onto patterned paper. And lastly, I rounded all of the corners with my Corner Chomper. I love the soft look it gives the card. Don't you think this is perfect for a young high school grad?
