Graduation

Today I am sharing a layout that I’ve just completed. I used a sketch from Prima to guide me in my design. As the theme of the layout was graduation, I already knew which papers I wanted to use. (You can probably guess how much I adore the Kaisercraft paper ranges!)

The sketch:

My layout:

Using the Martha Stewart edge punch, I added interest to the accordion fold flower.

To create the pennant, I selected scraps left over from the paper pad. I pierced 2 holes in each then threaded string through each. Once I was happy with the spacing, I used foam tape to attach it to the background papers. Hint: leave enough string at each end to allow you to move the pennants into place.

Using florist wire, green tape and the kaisercraft flowers, I created this vine.  I have made one before, following the tutorial by Gabrielle Pollacoo  http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/2011/01/video-tutorial-how-to-make-floral-vines.html

Supplies used:

Paper : Kaisercraft  Chapter One papers and  6” paper pad
