May is the perfect time to showcase
Christine's Graduation Series, from Paper Nest Dolls, what with celebrations from kindergarten through College graduations! As I was planning on three different ones (and customized from hair color to gown colors), I used both Avery and Owen gowned images! On Owens' blue gown, his tassel is burgundy and I used several silver
embellishments that were dimensional.
Here's Avery's card-I think it's just perfect as her tassel and gown were going to be royal blue/silver and royal blue. The shiny silver striped cardstock was the perfect background for the image.The nice things about
Christine's images is there are tiny tiny details that make it hard to get your copic pens in small spaces, but they still have enough features to make it interesting! Again I used the dimensional embellishments, although no matter how I tried, I could not get the ultra shiny inside greeting to show up-it says Contrats Grad (text disclaimer is in white under the embellie)
The last Owen card was done in shiny metallic Gold and black gown. I wanted the graduation sentiments to show from the inside so I cut the front flap in half, triple matted the colored image-hope you can see the lighter folds-then let the image hang over. The sentiment paper inside has lettering in both black and gold. I added some more embellie accents. I loved how all of these card turned out and Christine from
Paper Nest Dolls came out with the Graduation Series JUST in time!!! Yea! Be sure and check out all of her other great images in the shop!
Over at Paper Nest Dolls we are celebrating Summer and Christine Young's Newest Releases for June! This image is called Avery with Summer Drink -one thing that you find with her images is that they are so versatile! For instance, the b&w image you receive has a dress and headband that are blank. I decided to make stripes and polkadots an option for this fun coloring and here we are! I love working in her images hairdo's --the waves always come out so luxurious! 
So I found in my paper stashes (hoard) some very colorful, Spring/Summer papers to use. The good thing about these double-sided papers is that one of the sentiments I used in the inside, comes from the back! So on the front, I split the card in half and used some paper lace to tie them together, trimmed with some beautiful satin ribbon. The final touch "for the beach look" was adding some beige Flower Soft glued at the bottom to replicate Sand. These type of "in the moment" cards are great for SO many occasions! I'm sure you can think of lots of ways! Please check out all her other images and new releases-Come join the fun!
