Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #11: Graduation

Hello crafty friends!  It's a new month and time for another challenge at Love to Craft! Challenge Blog.  It's always Anything Goes and any craft you want to share.  Last month I was working on a Sketch/journal book, but it got put on hold when a few last minute cards came rolling in for commission.

I was asked to created a graduation card based on a grandmother's pic of her grandson in his cap and gown.

A graduation card needs to be special, I feel like these kids work so hard to get to the finish line.  I decided on a bendy card.  I usually make my cards 6 1/2 x 5 which is an A7 size.  I used die-cuts from MFT stamps to create this card.

Given a few or so options on images, the grandmother decided on the Art By Mi Ran image Graduating Gordon.  It was a perfect fit from the pic she had given me.  Usually I hide the slits for the tabs, but I didn't want to over clutter the card.

Here's the card completely folded out.  The grandmother said her grandson was blown away by this card and knew it was specially made for him :o)  (this always makes me happy to hear)

thanks for looking and reading :o)
