I created this card for my nephew Ryan who just graduated with Highest Distinction from UVA with a degree in BioMedical Engineering. This card started off with the graduation cap, which was supposed to be the card, but I decided it was too small, so I built the card around it. The cap, tassle, Class of 2013 and Congratulations Graduate were all cut on my Silhouette Cameo. The "button" in the middle of the cap is a logo from UVA's Engineering department that I cut out with a Spellbinder's circle die. I then mixed up some resin and did a dome effect by dropping resin onto the circle until it was covered. I didn't realize the resin was going to make the paper transparent, but that's what happened. Using the same logo, I created a half sheet of designer paper for the background. I made this card into an easel card and used the sentiment inside to hold the easel open. I added some metal bling at the top to finish the card off.
Wow, what a great graduation card! Especially love what you did with that button. Congrats to the graduate!
