Graduation Card - GO BEACH!

 

My friend's daughter graduated last night from CSULB (Long Beach!---Go BEACH!) 

She's going to be a teacher...so I created this card using the "retiring" paper and the matching (not retiring) stamp set. I love the rich colors Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Pacific Point...to make a bright and cheery graduation card..not your typical graduation card!

Very simple, and layered...

I stamped the shells, and brushed over it with my aqua painter to soften the images....

Undefined - stamp carving!

 

Using the UNDEFINED kit, (19.95) I perused the internet to search for clipart that would "speak" to me and something I would use. 

This symbol is Double Happiness. I think I did ok with the carving.  I sat and watched tv while I did this and later, I decided to remove the outside lines...it fit better on the wood mount.

The image above, on the upper left side is my original that I traced, and the image to the lower left is my stamped image.  I think it came out pretty good!

This is my carved stamp!

stay tuned to see what I will create with this!

xoxo
