I started out with a simple sketch card in mind but ended up with much more and glad I continued enhancing it. I used masking with the Cricut grad hats & Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I used a Sizzix Decorative Strip 13" Cutting Pad to only cut a portion of the oval for a flap to allow for looking at the sentiment inside the card.

Cricut cartridge: Something to Celebrate 1/2" Grad Hats - cut using white cardstock
digi: BugABoo Bird Gr Graduating Owl
