here is my second one....with some stamping and a little more india ink and some fabric scraps....

and the back....

thank you's.....

final step in this graduation process....the thank you! i made thank you postcards.

with matching envelopes!

i was using blank notecards that i trimmed to fit my envelopes. i sprayed them outside on the driveway. i actually lined up 6 cards underneath the stencil at a time.

this was the stencil i used, (which i love!).

these are the spray paint colors i used- ivy leaf and primer grey. i did a light spray with the ivy green just enough to get some color onto the cards and a little heavier with the grey to fill in more and give definition to the stencil. this gave the cards a variegated look that i liked. the final step was to stamp the "thank you" onto the front.

girlie grad card

i found the orange hunk of string and thought the color was so wonderful it should be used for  something. it found a home on the front of this girlie grad card. i also used a zebra template and grey spray paint and glimmer mist and some stitching with my sewing machine.

have i told you  how much i like this stamp?! i know...just get over it right? well, for the girls, i normally do the above.

and of course a matching envelope. this one maybe is not my most dressed up, but, it is still cute and matches the card.
