Graduation GirlCompleted by Darlene Handorff

I made the card as an over the top no hole card as I wanted to make it a little larger and this method works great for me.

But of course I had to add to it and fiddle until it was exactly how I wanted.

I made the rolled diploma and her graduation tassel, I made the congratulations banner and added the year with glittered numbers from my stash.

THe border is a gleaming gold design that I cut from specialty papers. The graduation girl is 7 1/4? tall and 6 7/8? wide. Pattern is very easy to cut just straight lines and layer with foam pads. How easy is that?
