Digi Choosday - Graduation - Congratulations - Male Card - Graduation School Student Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far......its nearly the end of April and the garden is blooming.  Everywhere has really benefitted from the early heavy rains we had so fingers crossed the plants are ready for the high temperatures of the Summer months.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to make a graduation card so I decided to use one of the fab images from the Graduation School Student collection

When I left school many years back (1985 to be precise!) graduation definitely wasn't a thing....just for graduation from University, how times have changed.  Its very popular now though - even little ones have graduations from nursery !

So I don't really make or send many of these cards but its always good to have some in my stash just in case.

Its a super cute little boy with his graduation gown and cap - definitely reminds me of my own son Jack when he graduated from Portsmouth University...must be the glasses and the scruffy hair...LOL

I created an arched doorway from dies and went with a gold, black and silver theme for my card today, colouring the image with promarkers and fussy cutting out before assembling the card.  The congratulations banner was also coloured in the same palette before fussy cutting out.

To finish off the card I added confetti around the design and added some glossy accents to the boys glasses and white gel pen highlights.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
