Twiggy & Toots Graduation - Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge - Week 25

 Happy Saturday, friends!  You know what that means!  It's time for a new Anything Goes Challenge on the Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge Blog!   This week the Design Team was asked to make a card that isn't in the shape of a square or a rectangle.  WHAT!?! This was such a challenge for me.  

My nephew is graduating this year, so I wanted to make a really fun card for him.  I decided that my card would be in the shape of a graduation cap.  I found a fantastic tutorial for a Graduation Cap Easel Card on YouTube from Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Crafts.  

I colored the adorable Twiggy and Toots Graduation digital stamp with Copic markers (colors listed below), cut out the image and set it aside, so that I could create the card.   This was a fun 3D card to make, and the tutorial was so easy to follow. I love that the back has a large amount of white space to write a message on. 

Colors Used: 

Eyes - Y26, Y23, Y21

Brow - E43, E41, E40

Wings - E79, E74, E70

Cap/Gown/Shoes - C10, C08, C06, C04, C02, C0

Soles - E79, E74, E70

Diploma - Y26, Y23, E43, E41, E40

Bow/Tassle - B69, B66, B63

I know that my nephew will probably not appreciate this card as much as the rest of the family will, but that's OK!  He is a teenage boy, after all.  He will know that he is loved! 

I hope that you will join us for this week's Anything Goes Challenge!  There prizes up for grab!  Please head over to the blog and share your creations with us! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
