Another clever graduation card!
Hi All! I’m back with the other graduation card I was asked to make. This one for a man getting his Masters in Architecture. As I was searching for digital images I found most were geared to kids, tween and teens. Not so much for “Adults”. I found this awesome image with stacked books. The only problem was that it has this cute little mouse hanging from the tassel, not very manly…… But I printed and colored the image anyway. Still thinking the mouse had to go. If this was a physical stamp I could have just blocked that part of the stamp. I had to find a way to cover it up and keep with the theme. After a day, it hit me! A little house would be perfect. Now, on with the Show & Tell…
Here is the card with the house! .
It was fun picking the book colors.
