Class of 2014 Grad Card

Thinking ahead I made this Graduation card for my daughter who will graduate from college in 2014. Used a Cricut cartridge not used in some time which is Wild Card Cricut cartridge. Cut a piece larger out of the black cardstock to put on top of the tassel on hat since the Cricut cut is very small and looked odd sized to use.

















the Gold Nugget chalk shows up better here:
