Graduation Card - 2015

Hi all, 

I'm back with another card, it's been a while since I did a none Design Team card post but I've got a few cards that I finished off this week I want to share with you. 

The first is a graduation card for my best friend. She's completed her Master's degree in Diagnostic Imagery which she's been doing for about 4 years alongside work. As she already has an insanely well paid post, which she loves, all the graduation cards about 'follow your dreams' aren't exactly appropriate. So I went with something clean, simple and incorporating her favourite animal. 

The image is from Whimsie Doodle, coloured with promarkers. The papers are both oddments left from a paper pad I've had for an age. The teal wasn't very strong though, so I ran my teal inkpad over it to give it more pop - as heat set it so it didn't rub off as it's a glossy embossed paper. I finished it with some pearls and lifted the image on foam pads.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Wishing You Birthday Fishes!

Morning all,

Who stole the sun? it was gorgeous weather yesterday and today it's so grey and miserable I just want to crawl back into my bed. 

I'm here to share one of the many June Birthday cards I've made (19 birthdays in one month is a killer!) Thankfully, I can double up a lot of designs, which I did with this one:

So I'll own up to having seen a few 'birthday fishes' cards on good old pinterest and it entertained me so this is my take on the idea. 

The sentiment is just computer generated, I randomly punched holes using my single hole punch, which I edged with pale blue promarker, hand cut the shape out and the blue metallic paper underneath and then used half of the Whimsie Doodle image - Great Catch in two different sizes to get the fish, which I coloured in Pumpkin and Gold promarkers and highlighted with white gel pen. The fishes were also raised on foam pads. 

I'm pleased with the result and I think a few more of these will have to be in due course.
