The proud parents will be at Edinburgh University watching their eldest graduate having performed exceptionally well and obtained her degree in Veterinary Medicine and Science. So well done to Katie!
Stamped both in versafine black then mounted onto black cardstock.
The mortar board was made from black card which is slightly corrugated so has a 'ripple' fabric effect - looks quite good in real life even though I do say so myself!
I made the tassel from some embroidery thread and the polka dot ribbon was recycled from a card I received for my own birthday!
Made a little 'diploma', tied it with twine and secured to another piece of the same black card.
I found a free sentiment some time ago perfect for Graduation cards from desert diva - it reads -
"Ending? This is only the beginning!"
- Perfect!
