Graduation Legs

Did you see there's a new Stamp Company in store?

It's the Colorado Stamp Company and I've been busy creating using one of 

the new sets called Graduation ....

The concept of focusing the artwork on the legs instead of the whole person is just so different and I think makes colouring easier, they are also perfect if you require a design that isn't too cutsey! For this first card I stamped the male Grad onto watercolour cardstock and enjoyed painting with my Windsor & Newton paints.

I added a background which was inspired by the beautiful formal gardens in

 Bath which were the backdrop for our daughters Graduation photos.

The stamp set has quite a few sentiments to choose from in a choice of font styles too.

For this second card I stamped the female Grad legs and went with a sepia style design 

using a Polychrome pencil on cream card. I adhered one of the Fine Frames from

 Altenew then trimmed the card panel down before adding it to another card piece.

The monochromatic design gives quite a different look to the first card, 

for a finishing touch I added three score lines to the card base for some subtle detail.

  

Thanks for stopping by :)
