CAS-ual Graduation

Happy lazy Sunday morning everyone ,

I just love Sundays in a bank holiday , knowing we have another day at home altogether and I don't have to worry about getting the weekly ironing done .... looking at the pile it's more like two though :)

....... so Friday was the launch of the fourth  Cas-ual Fridays challenge and this week is Graduation card , very topical for this time of year although we haven't got to that stage yet , another 3 - 4 years maybe :)

I don't have a lot of Graduation stamps so I decided to  go with the sentiment as the main focal point . As promised I have used my new 'School Days Back drops' stamp set from Lawn Fawn to make the lined paper effect and the linen IP from Papertrey Ink to emboss texture on the raised mat , this is such a cool IP and it gives just a hint of texture ( not sure if you can see it on the photo ) .
The mortar board and 'C' are coloured using promarkers ..... I think I'm gradually getting the hang of them with the help of tutorials on the internet :)

If you fancy playing along hop over to the blog here and check out the details and inspiration from the fabulously talented design team .

Having never been to Uni myself I'm looking forward to when we visit universities at the end of June with Hannah in readiness for sending applications off around Christmas time . All too soon they grow up and I don't think it's quite hit me yet that she'll soon be flying the nest .

Thanks so much for popping by , hope you're enjoying the Bank Holiday too X
