Happy Friday! This week's Blogger's Challenge theme is graduation. The cards that I have to share are cards that I've shown before and just slightly changed the design and the colors, but they are what I've been working on, so here goes. The first card uses Heather Ellis' Graduation Girl (found here). Our local high school graduates this weekend and the school colors are this rich burgundy color. My Graduation Girl is colored up with my Copic Markers. I used my usual colors for the skin and hair and for her gown, I went with R83, R85, and then some R59. After that I went over all of the clothing areas with R29 to get this really deep tone. I ended up making four of these cards for a colleague because her daughter is graduating this weekend. She wanted a card to resemble her daughter and then more for her daughter's friends. The next card is for the males that are graduating. I made up a few of these for my colleague as well. The stamp is long retired from an all occasion set from Stampin' Up! and the patterned paper is from Scenic Route. It went well with our school's colors. I added a touch of black to pull the whole thing together. For more graduation inspiration, please check out what the other Ladies from the Blogger's Challenge group have come up with. You can find their blogs here. Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope that you have a lovely weekend! I'm heading to my first Stamping Convention tomorrow!! I can't wait...Toodles! :D

I love both of your cards! I really like how you personalized the first one, and those pearls with the embossed panels really makes it elegant.
Such a sweet image! Wonderful coloring, the embossed folder looks great under your image. Enjoy the stamp show!

I really like how the cards came out using the burgundy color for the girls card. Good layout for the guys card too! I'm sure she'll really like them. :)
