Graduation Books Topper & Decoupage

I printed the sheet onto good quality white card and cut out the images. I mounted the main image onto a layer of dark grey card and then onto my card base using DST.

I then added the decoupage with foam pads.

I printed onto smooth white card stock and used paper maker to make similar background to enlarge onto an 8x8 card.

The decoupaged pieces were attached with foam tape and I decorated with some glitter glue around the wording and tassels etc.

Very nice design.

Printed onto glossy photo paper, I cut out the decoupage and added using foam pads. I mounted onto black card, gold pearlescent and then a cream card blank. I finished with gold peeloffs.

Approx card size 15cm sq

Printed out on good quality photo paper, cut out & used 3D foam pads for the layering. Mounted onto gold mirror card. This is a beautiful card!

Graduation - an occasion that you just can't wait to reach! So it's definitely a milestone that needs acknowledging. This is a cute yet simple version of the sheet - I say that because you could add some bling to the corners of the plaque and even adhere it to a shimmery gold cardstock and add a golden ribbon down the spine, but I choose to adhere it to a kraft coloured cardstock for that more natural look, so I kept it as is. I printed the sheet, cut out the elements, mounted them with foam tape and then adhered to the base topper. If you like you could add a quirky little verse on the LHS inside, then add your well wishes for the recipient.
