This card is for a friend's nephew. Initially, I was going to mount it all on a white card, but when I went to get the card, I opted for the kraft instead. I think it looks much more masculine this way.
Supplies:
- Main patterned paper from a 12x12 dated 2014 by Echo Park
- The brown/copper background paper was from the craft set that belonged to my kids when they were little... I recently cleaned out their craft bin and it turned out to be a gold mine!
- The metallic cardboard was from some holiday cookie packaging a neighbor gave us. It was just such a great copper color I had to keep part of it.
- I used various hole punches to add confetti
- The "Congrats" is a Tim Holtz die
Super masculine grad. card!! it's perfect with the kraft base, I'm very fond of kraft and blue.

Oh Mimi, I totally agree that the Kraft card stock is the perfect color for your beautiful graduation card, it makes the gold and copper accents shine even more.
ReplyDeleteI too save packaging paper when it's this gorgeous, how can you throw it away?? Never!!!
Awesome card Mimi.

ReplyDeleteMimi, this is a gorgeous design! Kraft paper is always a good choice for masculine cards as it allows you to pull in color that might not otherwise work. Very nicely done!
