Another graduation card ready to go. I came upon my stash of Lost Coast Designs' stamps and this stamp I've waited and waited to use. I thought all of the pencils were appropriate for a high school grad, since Lord knows how many pencils a student goes through over the years.

I stamped the background stamp with VersaFine in Toffee onto white card stock. It was matted with a piece of So Silk card stock in purple because that's one of the school colors. Both panels were adhered to the card base. The VersaFine was also used to make a border of color on the pre-cut tag. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine using the MISTI. A ribbon was attached to the tag. The tag was adhered to the stamped panel. A key and flower were adhered to the tag with Glossy Accents.

I love this card on the PoppyStamps' blog featuring climbing roses and a lattice. Olga includes a video "how-to" on the blog post.

Another reason to use your MISTI is provided by Hero Arts on their blog. They're featuring a new stamp set that allows you to layer colors. The pineapple is a symbol of "welcome".
