We heard recently that my niece had got her two final results and she has passed and will graduate as a Nursing Associate. This is an amazing achievement as she works full-time as well as studying as well as having to work through COVID-19. We are so very proud of her and thought she deserved a very special card.
I have used an image from one of my Hunkydory Little Books and chose this graduation owl. I used two of the images so I could do some decoupage.
I have used a backing paper from The Works and red card stock. On the green patterned paper I used a Sentimentally Yours chrysanthemum stencil and a dotty stenciland inked through with Tim Holtz's Fired Brick and Brushed Corduroy distress inks.
The flowers have been made using my John Next Door cornflower die and inked the edges of the flowers with the Fired Brick distress ink.
I have finished the card off with the die-cut flowers, gems, organza bow, coated wire ribbon made into a twirl, John Next Door branch die-cuts and a die-cut sentiment.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
