Graduation season is here! Just because the big day is a formal affair, that doesn’t mean that the cards can’t have some fun. Our 3D buttons dress up this bird so he’s ready for the walk across the stage!
Supplies Needed:
- Buttons Galore “Grad” 3D buttons
- Buttons Galore “School Value Pack” 3D buttons
- button shank removers
- black card base
- watercolor paper
- black solvent ink
- Tim Holtz for Stamper’s Anonymous “Crazy Bird” stamps
- Tim Holtz for Stamper’s Anonymous “Crazy Talk” stamps
- watercolors & paintbrush
This card uses our 3D buttons as accessories for some crazy stamped characters! This character gets a whole new dimension – literally – with a fun button graduation hat and his own button diploma.
To make this card, select a card base in one of the graduate’s school colors. (You’ll want to choose the darker of the two school colors for the card base.)
Cut a 3.75″ by 5″ piece of watercolor cardstock and adhere it centered on the cardfront. Use watercolors in the lighter of the two school colors to paint a block along the bottom of the paper. Stamp the sentiments at the top and bottom in waterproof ink, and then stamp the bird in the middle.
Use the watercolors to paint in the bird. (I used the yellow school color for the bird’s wings to hold the diploma.) Then cut the shanks off of the graduation hat and diploma buttons, and adhere them to your bird.
This bird will put a smile on the face of your special grad while bringing your good wishes to them! Happy Graduation, Class of 2017!
