Another Graduation Card

It's Thursday! Time for another Lindsay Project! I know you all are probably getting tired of seeing this diploma digi, b/c along with half the DT last week I used this image. So here I am using it again. But I guess that just speaks to how timeless and perfectly useful it is!!! The reason I'm creating another grad card is b/c a friend of mine requested that I make one for her nephew who is graduating high school. His school colors are maroon, black and white. I just love a color challenge! So I chose to use the sketch from CardPatterns that you can see below. I also decided to spice it up a bit by adding the congratulations digi from Lindsay's All Around Phrases Set.

I then decided that this card still looked a little too plain, so I got the bright idea to add some shiny black paint dots to the dots in the all around phrases digi. It was so easy and only took less than a minute, but what a great effect! Kinda looks like it is embossed!

Well, that is all for today! I hope you enjoyed my card and don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog to check out the work done by the other DT members and to snag a freebie!
