Another Graduation

Seems like every year someone's kid or mine is graduating.  Man, I'm getting old...lol.  Not like you haven't seen enough graduation cards flying around blogland lately....now I'm posting one.  I hope you can bare through one more :o)

I used Saturated Canary image Grad Girl 2015, because she looked spunky.  The young lady this card is going to is smart and spunky.  

I did a side step card.  I'm not a huge fan of these cards.  I guess it's because I like bigger images and I have to figure out all the measurements myself to get it to come out correctly.  The "2015" numbers have wire going through them.  I die-cut the numbers twice so I could place the wire in between the numbers. 

The young lady has dirty blonde hair with red on the ends.  So I had to color it correctly with my Prismacolor pencils.  

Here's what the side step looks like and also the inside of the card.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
