Hi
everyone! I'm hosting Mixed Media Monday today at the Paper Wings Productions blog, The Aviary, so please check it out.
It's graduation season
and today I have the perfect gift for this high school rite of passage. I will
be attending a special young lady's graduation in a few weeks and I wanted to
create a memento to help her remember this special day. Not that she is
likely to ever forget the final day of mind numbing classes, bad lunches, crazy
teachers..... but hopefully this little gift will help!
I purchased
the shadowbox at Archivers and left it black as it is one of her schools
colors. I took her graduation announcement and cut it up to use as decoration
in some of the boxes and then combined them with fabulous Paper Wings Productions stamps.
The
largest box has a gorgeous damask background from the Backgrounds
Cling stamp set that I also embossed with a few flourishes from Flourish
Fun One in glossy black. It also features a sweet little banner
embossed in silver and colored with Copic Markers and some poms from Happy
Day stamped in lilac. I added in a grad cap cut with my Cricut and
some painted and glitter misted stars. The perfect sentiment is from the Earth
& Sky set.
I wanted to
showcase her school logo cut directly from the announcement. I only added
a couple of stamped flourishes from the Flourish
Fun One set. I
had to girly this box up so I added some rolled flowers on a background of
silver and purple confetti from Happy
Day.
The
final box again features more of the pretty poms embossed in silver and colored
in shades of purple and more flourishes. Plus a few clear crystals for a
bit of bling!
