Graduation Card and Coloring with Copics

I didn't play along with The 30 day Coloring Challenge last time, but really wanted to give a try this time around.

This is a digi print from Saturated Canary called Grad Girl 2015.

I have a granddaughter graduating from 8th grade...I don't think they have caps and gowns, but this was the closest I could come to a cute girlie grad card.

She has her dress already, and I believe it is a lilac color, which surprised her mom and me ...her favorite color is teal.

And of course the school colors are red, black and white...so I tried to incorporate those colors in the card.

It has been awhile since I colored hair and skin...need more practice!!

Another Graduation Card

This one is for a male...grrr..not so good at masculine cards...no flowers, no bling, just kind of boring.  And especially since I do not have any graduation stamp sets (what is with that?)...so I went really simple.  I stamped the CONGRATS from the Think Big series for my background.  Using the school colors of green and yellow, I stamped the sentiment from Simply YOU and gave him some words of encouragement!  Pretty simple, pretty quick...and now it is done!
