Purple Grad Card

 

It has been forever since I've played along with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and glad I was able to change that.  She has such wonderful sketches.

This week's sketch was perfect for the commissioned grad card I had to make.  The grad's favorite colour is purple and she loves sparkle, so that was the theme as I worked on this card.  Thankfully, I managed to find some purple in my stash as it is not a colour I often use - phew!

Used Verve's Dream Big and the coordinating Dreamy Leaves and Scalloped Flowers dies, along with PTI's number border die for the 2014.  Hoping she likes it!

Thanks for popping in today, and hope you have a great day.

Masculine Graduation Card

I've had this Fab Friday sketch for a while and decided it would be a great one to use for a graduation card, and as luck would have it, I'm in need of one.

Out came Verve's new Happy Graduation Plain Jane, Scalloped Trim Trio dies, Starry Die  and Curvy Bookplate die - all perfect for a masculine card.

Since I didn't really have to worry about school colours for this card, I went with a favorite colour combo of mine: grey, black and yellow.  I added an extra layer to the banner as I felt it needed it and the rest fell together nicely.

Very much enjoying catching up on my crafty time and I'm taking full advantage of it, as there is a good chance I'll be busy working for hubby again some time soon.

Have a fabulous day, and thank for popping by!
