As promised, here is another great Graduation Card idea. I’ve always loved this Teacher Appreciation Stamp Set–this owl is just too cute! Unfortunately, this particular set has been discontinued. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use this card design to create another stunning card yourself!
I thought our Alphabet Fundamental Paper was a perfect companion for a graduation card so that was where I started with my card. I also wanted to help draw the eye to the center focal point–the owl–so I stamped some small stars in the lower right corner as well as the upper left corner. Doing a tone-on-tone stamping design helps add some detail without being overwhelming. It also helps to pop up the focal point like I did with some 3-D Foam Dots.
