Graduation Card for Emily

Hello all!

Today I have a graduation card to show you.

This is for a very special young lady 

who graduated from high school this year.

I have known Emily her whole life and am so proud of her.

In September she will be going away to college

that is why I made this particular card.

I started by stamping

"Ball Jar" (#23102) from 

QKR Stampede

onto an acrylic sheet with StazOn ink

and fussy cut it.

You can see in this picture how the jar looks like glass, 

since it is stamped onto acrylic.

I punched out the butterflies with a little punch from 

the studio where I work.

I glued 3 butterflies to the white card stock piece,

then used glue dots to adhere the jar over them.

I used glue dots to put butterflies directly over 

those dots adhering the jar so they wouldn't show.

I cut a small slit in the top of the jar so one butterfly is just 

coming out of the jar.

The rest of the butterflies are also adhered with glue dots.

I used a Zig Pen to make the 'flight trails'

The butterflies were all coated with a 

Wink of Stella pen, 

which gives them a shimmery/glittery look.

On the inside I used

"Congratulations" (#5507) from 

Eureka! Stamps

I didn't think to take a picture of the inside

 before I wrote a personal not and signed the card.

Part of what I wrote was

"It's your time to fly"

I'm very happy with how this card turned out

I hope it has inspired you in some way.

Thanks for stopping by today

I hope you will come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
