Congrats Grad Sneak Peek

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 267 - Basic Appealing Shadows. I almost had this card finished when I saw the color challenge, eeek they work. The colors of the school where we live are gold and black. I had a really hard time matching Sage Shadow which is why I use it the least. The line of paper piercing on the sentiment layer is for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 269 - Paper Piercing. My layout is from Sunday's SWEET SUNDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE # 65. This image and sentiment are part of a digital set called "CONGRATS GRAD" that will be released this Wednesday from TREEHOUSE STAMPS DIGITAL LINE. My dp is some I have had for eons and can not remember the name, sorry. I cut the hat and diploma image out and popped it up on the gold circle matted on black. All images colored were colored with copics.
