Friends with Flair!

Keeping up with Unity on Facebook is pretty much an invitation to shop every weekend...eek! I just placed my second order in less than a month - those itty bittys jump right into the cart.

So, when I saw this edition of the {be inspired} challenge, that card sketch jumped right out at me because I'd just bought this nifty graduation stamp and I knew it would be perfect. I mean look, the sketch is covered with grad stuff!

When I got going, I decided to give the oh-so-hot chalkboard technique a go as well. I think I was a little too uniform in my ink sponging, but whatever, It was my first try, and I still lurve it:

Supplies: Colorbox White Frost pigment ink; Stampendous white EP; UNITY diploma cap & gown stamp; We R Memory Keepers washi tape; Wplus9 banner die; brads from stash

To help the chalkboard frame stand out a little more, I matted it with another piece of black cardstock. To make the flag, I carefully lined up thin washi tape on white cardstock so the pattern matched, and then die cut it. The graduated brads came about because it was too nekkid. And now I've used up those first three grey/white shades out of my neverending mini brad stash.

Annnnnnd, since it's been a long time since I played along with Friends with Flair, I saved this for today so I can pop in over there too {waves hello!}
