Sneak Peek: Congrats Grad + Stencils

Good Morning Friends! It is Dana here today sharing a graduation card sharing a sneak peek of the new Congrats Grad stamp set, along with one of the new stencils, Graduation!

I started my card by creating my background with the Graduation Stencil and Transparent Gloss Texture Paste from Ranger.  I used a palette knife to apply the paste all over my card panel. When you first apply the paste it is white.

Once it dries it is clear and shiny.

While my background was drying and I began working on my card images. I stamped the darling elephant from the Elephant Friends stamp set and the graduation cap and diploma from the Congrats Grad stamp set. Next, I watercolored my images with Zig Clean Color Pens and used the coordinating dies, Elephant Friends coordinating dies and Congrats Grad coordinating dies, to cut them out. I love how both of these sets can work together.

For my card layout, I used the Scallop Frame die. I stamped my sentiment onto the inside piece and inlaid it back into the frame. Next, I attached my images with foam adhesive and attached everything to my A2 card base.

I hope you have been enjoying the sneak peeks so far. We still have one more sneak peek of the April 29th release, join us again tomorrow!
