Curtain Call - Totally Tassel

Happy Sunday of our long weekend! Just popping in quickly to squeak a card into the current challenge at Curtain Call. It's an inspiration challenge - Totally Tassel. Here's the inspiration photo -


As it's graduation time, I need to make several cards for school, the gift shop, a few commissioned ones and I just may need some myself. Here's what I came up with -


My inspiration for this came from the tassel and gold. I've used a NBUS set, Clearly Besotted's The Graduate, that I purchased last year. I love this quote by Emerson, especially appropriate this time of year. Nothing fancy on my CAS card. Stamped the sentiment, diploma and cap in black. The cap was fussy cut and popped up on the panel. I adhered the panel flat to my card base and added some gold sequins. 

This would be a great card for a guy, so I'll also enter it at AAA Cards: Game #40 For the Guys.


I hope you have a wonderful day. Our weather is gorgeous, sunny and headed for 80 degrees. Hope it doesn't rain for tomorrow's parades. Enjoy!

    This is an awesome graduation card, Pam! It makes me think of my grandson that I'm always asking not to leave a trail. LOL, usually his trails are sticky and icky!

    I went with plain black and white on the grad cards I made this year too. It just looks classy. Great card! :-)

    Wonderful graduation card - perfect for the masculine challenge, though it is so classy and classic it could be given to anyone. Love the addition of the gold sequins - they are the perfect embellishment! Thanks for linking up and playing along with us at AAA Cards!
