Graduation season is here! The Cap and Gown stamp set is available online and it’s great for this time of year.
The Paper Players have a fun sketch challenge this week which worked nicely with my graduation theme.
I used Cherry Cobbler as my color to complement the black robe and gold elements. I’m not sure what college or university has a Cherry Cobbler color scheme, but if that’s your alma mater, let me know in the comments.
Using fluid watercolor paper, I painted 4 panels using my aqua painters and Cherry Cobbler ink. Once dry, I heat embossed the cap in gold. I heat embossed the diplomas as well and fussy cut them before adhering to the card.
The sentiment is from the Say Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. There are so many perfect sentiments in that pack. I love them.
Visit The Paper Players and take part in this week’s sketch challenge!
