Welcome to Tuesday and an odd day post from me!

Morning all,

Yes, I KNOW you don't normally expect a post from me on a Tuesday but I suddenly spotted that the sketch challenge I made this card for, ends today - in just seven hours and, since I made it specifically for this sketch challenge, I thought I should probably enter it!!!

I was recently asked to make some graduation cards and found I really only had two images which could be appropriate, a mortar board and a scroll. How to make three cards for the same person and yet still make them look a little different .... hmmm. If you want to see the first make then check it out here.

My card

  

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

• Cream A2/C6, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of cream card, cut to fit
• One piece of navy card, cut to mat
• Snippets of card in cream and navy for my image panel and matting and also for my sentiment
• MFT faux stitched nesting rectangle Dies + WeRMemory Keepers plain rectangle dies used to cut the image panel, matting layer and sentiment panel
• See D's multiple "Congrats" image stamped using Memento Paris dusk ink
• PSX mortar board (D2550) image stamped using Memento London fog ink
• Ranger Letter It sentiment (from their Celebration set) stamped using Memento Paris dusk ink
• Then, because I worried that the mortar board image wasn't obvious I coloured them using cool shadow and cool grey 1 copic marker

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch challenge No 402 - SKETCH - see below
2. Dragonfly Dreams - September challenge - ANYTHING GOES
3. Crafting From The Heart - challenge No. 220 - ANYTHING GOES
4. Pammie's Inky Pinkies - challenge No. 1837 - ANYTHING GOES
5. Avenue 613 - challenge No. 213 - ANYTHING GOES + option of CAS (Clean And Simple) - check!

I started work on the third but, apparently, I really only had the two ideas in my head and what happened to the third one? Well, it turned in to a total dogs breakfast!!! Hope I can come up with a plan B) ... and soon!
