Congratulations - Graduate Card

Today's card is not your typical Graduation Card.  I wanted something for a young lady that would look great but be simple and easy to make.  The design is clean and can be used for any occasion. The background is the Darice Large Petal. I love how the black with white embossed mat looks so sophisticated, the embossing really pops on the card.  I hope the young graduate, enjoys the card as much as I did making it.

Everyday Card - Butterflies

Here is a card that I made with stamps and markers.  I like the way butterflies turned out but I am unsure of the matting.  When doing the matting I was trying to incorporate the color of the butterflies. It turned out well but it's not one of my favorites and I will revisit these butterflies again.

Base - A2 Card - White
Mat 1 - 4" x 5 1/4" - Orange
Mat 2 - 3 3/4" x 5" - Light Blue
Mat 3 - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" - Yellow
Butterflies - 3 pack wood stamps I got at Michaels - Memento Tuxedo Black Ink - colored with Spectrum Noir markers
