No Stamping Required!

Pin It Now! I can't believe that it's Memorial Day weekend already! We were extremely busy for a couple of weeks moving into a different house & the month of May has disappeared! Before we moved I got busy & made all the cards that would need to be mailed from May 1st - July 31st. I felt so good having everything done ahead of time; I even put them all together in a large craft keeper with a book of stamps. Well, in my eagerness I completely forgot all about GRADUATION; it never crossed my mind. There have been 3 graduates that have been brought to my attention so I've had to scramble to get their cards made. The first one was for our sister-in-law who graduated from nursing school; I needed it NOW & forgot to take a picture before I mailed it. :( A very close friend of ours also graduated from nursing school last night & I wanted to see if I could incorporate some medical stuff on his card. I found a template online for a shirt & here is what I came up with:

There is NO STAMPING on this card! *gasp* I  printed out the shirt template on a piece of Pacific Point card stock & cut it out. The stethoscope is all paper pieced & drawn by hand. Once that was done I hand drew the pocket onto a scrap of Pacific Point. I laid it all out the way I wanted it first & then glued the pocket down so that the stethoscope ended up on top. After the scrub top was put together I used several dimensionals to put it on the card front. I then added the stitching around the collar & pocket using a white gel pen. The edges of the card were sponged with Basic Gray classic ink. This is what the inside looked like:

This was made using My Digital Studio. It was trimmed down & the edges were sponged in Basic Gray. I am very happy the way this card turned out; I wish I did this one for my sister-in-law too! Maybe I'll make one & send it to her just because... ;)
