For today's card/project, I used this newly released Professor Owl digi image. I love owl's and this one from Meljen is so adorable! My sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs (Graduation sentiments) also from Whimy digital images.
Here is a picture of my card when it's closed:
What do you think? Does it look like a graduation cap? I recycled a cheese container for the base. I thought a gift card or rolled up money could be put in it.
I would love to hear what you think so if you leave a comment, I greatly appreciate it! Also, if you leave a comment on every blog along the hop, you could be in the running for some awesome prizes!
Here's a close up of that cute owl:
The copic colors I used on this image are: C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, YR23, Y21, Y11, B39, B37, B34, B32.
