As soon as I saw the Art Deco/ Art Nouveau style rubber stamp (
http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/) at ABC Crafts in Osaka, Japan, I knew that it would make a perfect image for a graduation card. Our niece is a very attractive girl, who has always been somewhat under the shadow of her older brother and sister, so I thought the lovely image and inspirational saying would be ideal on a graduation card for her. After stamping with Memories dark brown ink, the image was colored with Copic pens to look like a hand-colored vintage photo. The background two-sided printed 12x12 paper is from Graphic 45. The dark brown card blank is an American Crafts product. To accent the wings on the girl, I applied Stickles over the Copic inks and for added sparkle I glued on three bluish crystals. I sincerely hope that all 2012 graduates will take to heart the message of this card and 'spread their wings and fly'. Good luck to all of you!
