Stampin' Up! Beautiful You Grad

I saw this idea of using Beautiful You for a graduation card somewhere on-line.   I don't know who to give credit for it but thought it was so cute!  Here is my version of it.  The tassel  was a bit tricky but I like how it turned out.  I wanted the focus to be on the the grad but wanted to add some dimension on part of the background.  I also used some Stampin' Blends for skin tones and to shade around her dress and cap.

Stampin' Up! Manly Moments Paper Pumpkin

We have several high school graduations this year.  It's always fun to catch up with family that we haven't seen in awhile (well...we do keep up with each other on Facebook for the most part!)

I know I've mentioned my struggle with masculine cards in the past and was dreading coming up with something.  But Paper Pumpkin saved the day!  June's kit is titled Manly Moments and is perfect for this project.  There wasn't a graduation greeting so pulled out Sunshine Sayings.  Bam!  Done!
