The images are from Stampin' Up! Tassel Time. This is one of the first sets I bought when I started stamping in 2003. Still going strong but long since retired in the Stampin' Up! community. The main image is stamped with Versa Fine Onyx Black and the stars with MFT Cherry Red and then die cut with MFT Stitched Circles. I used the confetti stamp for the background and I was going for a tone on tone effect; but it was barely visible even up close so I knew the photo would show nothing. So in between the tone on tone I used Fossilized Amber Distress ink to also stamp the confetti. It's slightly more visible. The sentiment on the outside is from Create with TLC. I really loved this sentiment. It's double die cut with MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags. I didn't want the fishtail on the card. I didn't take a picture but the inside has the sentiment from Tassel Time: "The tassel was worth the hassle! Congratulations." The school colors are maroon and gold. Same school my three kids graduated from. To finish I added three gold gem stones. I am entering these challenges:
- Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch
- Simon Says Wednesday challenge: anything goes
- Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
- Crafty Friends: add embellishments
- Time Out challenge: Free ( I'm sure that's how Gretchen is feeling right now!)
That's it for me tonight. I went to pick up a bunch more containers from Teacher's Warehouse to go through and inventory them. That will take me some time. We have the twins tomorrow but thankfully it's supposed to be good weather. It's been very rainy here. Good for the garden but not so great for our mood. We need some sunshine. Hope your weekend is full of sunshine!

Yes, I agree it's sad for these young people who are being cheated out of their graduation ceremony. However, it's undertandable to not have a public event as the virus spreads like wildfire. No easy solution so I guess the virtual ceremony is better than nothing. Such a different world we live in now. But on a happy note, your card is beautiful and I know that your neighbour will appreciate your thoughtfulness! It's a great sentiment too! I'm happy our sketch could inspire you, Donna! Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm always happy to see your cards in our challenge, and I hope you'll be back again!

It is so sad for those who are graduating. We can only help by sending them a card (posted one myself today too). Your card is a beauty and will be very appreciated.
Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
