Incredible Like You + Beautiful You = Graduation Card

So I had seen this genius idea by a fellow demonstrator and had to give it my own twist... I hope this gives you guys an idea to make graduation cards with what you have on hand... even if you don't have a graduation stamp set...

It was a little hard to photograph with the black shiny foil paper... here are some of my tips:

- I stamped image in black
- added a light real red blends marker line on left side of her dress and colored in part on her leg
- /then I used the dark black stampin' blends marker to color in rest of dress and give her long sleeves to create a graduation gown...    but it didn't cover the previously stamped lines completely so I pulled out a regular black SU marker and colored it over... that did it!
- the graduation cap is a 5/8 inch square. It's popped up
- tassel was created by fraying the white ribbon then I colored it with Real Red stampin' blends. Mini glue dots were used to add it
- the diploma is a small piece of typing paper rolled up...
