So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!
Liz - How cute is this MDF Daisy Dwelling? it is one of three in the pack, I will show the others later.
I decided to colour the project in acrylics, using beige and Taupe colours, you could of course colour it anyway you like, but I quite the Scandinavian look and the colours fit in with my room.
Julie - I wanted this Graduation card to be colorful & playful, like a box of crayons. I chose images from Graduation Object Digital Stamps- a stack of books and a graduation cap along with a diploma, and colored them with Copic Blends into simple shades of red, green & blue, with the hat being black.
Books: Red-R39, R27, R24 Green-G19, G09, G05 Blue- B26, B24,B21 Black-100, N8, N6, N4 Diploma & Book pages- C3, C1, 0
Tassel and Book Detail- Gold Gel Pen
To create the background I started with a red embossed layer of cardstock. I printed 2 pattern papers from the Graduation Paper Bundle, and tore one on the top and bottom to create a diagonal layer to glue onto the cardstock layer. The second pattern paper resembled lined paper from a notebook, I punched 3 holes in this and layered it onto a matt of blue cardstock to create a landing space for the focal point. I added different heights of foam tape to the books and diploma and attached them to this focal layer, and then added that to the cardfront. The HOORAY sentiment from Graduation sentiments was a perfect greeting for this card paired with a sub sentiment that rests on the ruled lines of the lined paper. A few gems for added sparkle and this card is ready to send!

Taty - Hello creatives today I share my DT inspiration for the graduation theme. I created a greeting card for a girl who graduated from medical school. I used the image Cute Girl in gown Graduation School Student that I colored with pencils Prismacolor.
I'll leave you the pencil numbers: academic robe 935-1069, shoes 1061-1054, hair 1033-1034-917-942, face 1018-1013-1014-927, red ribbon 924-1030-122. With stencils and distress oxide I created the hexagonal flooring using the color iced spruce and the little stars with the fossilized amber. I framed the image with colored cardboard ecru, embossed with the star folder. Finally I glued everything onto the base of the grey card.
Robbie - Hello everyone, Graduation season is upon us and I have a Cute Girl Graduation image idea for you. I colored it with watercolor inks. The pattern paper is from the graduation polka dot collection. The sentiment and diploma is from the Graduation school student clip art . I used a pencil from the Graduation school clip art collection to separate the pattern paper from the white background.

Maria - What a stunning bloom, right? This hydrangea from the Hydrangea Ribbon Stamp Matchables Set is an absolute dream to work with, and I really wanted to make it the star of the show. To do that, I decided to use the Spotlight technique. I started by stamping the image onto my white top layer using a stamping tool for perfect placement. Then, I stamped the image again onto a smaller piece of cardstock and colored only that portion with alcohol markers. To add some depth, I used a masking technique to blend some grey ink around the focal point. Once I layered the colored piece back onto the main panel in perfect alignment, I matted everything and adhered it to my card base. The Congratulations sentiment is from the Wedding Day Set—isn't that font just gorgeous? I think the final result is a very sophisticated card, perfect for a graduation celebration!

Nelly - The inspiration for this card came from my Granddaughter, she’s just turned 4 and graduates from nursery this year. So with her in mind, I chose to go cute. Using distress ink I stencilled the background in frayed burlap, and abc123-stencil I coloured up this image taken from the graduation bundle found here cute-girl-with-glasses-books--bag, other elements, pencils, sentiment, bunting and balloon was taken from the big bundle which you can find HERE you will find so much inspiration from this bundle.
