Graduation Mouse

     Here's the second graduation card I made, this one for my grandson who is an honors graduate and who will be entering his long-desired, culinary academy in the fall.  The card features this fun mouse from Bugaboo Stamps.  This is the image I printed an additional time in order to cut and paste the mortar board onto my granddaughter's grad card which you can find HERE.


     Colored with ProMarkers, then cut with a stitched die from Memory Box, and inlaid into a scrap of stitched plaid dp which had been cut with that same die for a double stitched look. 

     The plaid paper is from a pad put out by Your Next Stamp.  The sheer ribbon is a scrap I didn't want to throw away.  The dry embossed piece was made using a scrap of CS.  I used up a lot of scraps with this card instead of wasting them.  :-D
