10 Colorful Backgrounds Completed by Taina Kankare

I opened one of the background files into my photo editor. I added an owl and a branch. Next I added the cap. This is the kind of cap graduates here in Finland use.

The visor is black plastic, the hat border is black velvet and it is decorated with a gold colored lyre which is surrounded by gold colored laurel wreath.

The cap is made of white velvet. After this I added the text "Onnea" in Finnish, which means "Congratulations" or "Good luck" in English. Next I added the rose and some leaves to the branch. I saved my file and printed the sheet.

I cut the topper out but left a narrow white border. After this I used my decorative scissors to decorate the topper edges. Finally I attached my card front on a green base card leaving a narrow border. As a finishing touch I added some glossy accent to the eyes of the owl and into the lyre.
