Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS Angie is our Hostess and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Graduation’.
Our Guest Designer is the amazingly talented _____, winner of Challenge #158!
I've used this image before from the Silhouette Store because I love the effect of a solid black die cut with an ink blended background.
I created the background panel some time ago, so don't quote me, but I think I used DOX inks and a baby wipe for texture. Here is a close-up ~
I die cut an oval from linen cardstock and used 2 layers of foam dots for the grad for dimension, then added a few gold stars in the corner. To keep the card CAS, I used gold cardstock for the scripty sentiment...and that was it!
We would love to see how the code word ‘Graduation’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer, and play along with us, come on over and join us for the new ATCAS Challenge ~
