Here is today's card.
The theme at Splitcoast today was Graduation. Since I don't know anyone who is graduating, I made a card with this great sentiment which I think would work great for a grad.
I began by using an old Distress wheel from Stampin Up (sorry I don't know what it is called) and rolled it over my Versamark pad then onto my 90 lb. watercolour paper. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder and sprinkled Brusho in orange and yellow over the top; sprayed with a generous amount of water and let the colours blend together.
When my paper was dry, I stamped the flowers from Magenta and the sentiment from Hampton Art using Stazon ink.
(The sentiment must be an old one as it was in a $4. bin at Michaels)

I adore the colors and the flowers. This sentiment was actually one that the RCMP officer who was our guest speaker at Tristans graduation said to the kids. It is truly perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring creation with at 4 Crafty Chicks.

Gorgeous!!! Thanks for playing along at ATSM!!
I think this is a fabulous graduation card and I really like that it doesn't have to be a graduation card. That background is so cool!
