Hi Folks! One of my favorite Middle Schoolers
just graduated this year and I couldn't be more proud. She's had enormous
challenges, yet she, helped by her very supportive family, pushes herself to
succeed every single day. Her favorite color is orange, so I thought it would
be great to have some orange gummy bears from Welcome to the Family with Evelin T Designs congratulating
her on her graduation.
Since we have four members in our family, I created a crowd of
four by stamping the darkest bear in the middle, masking him off, and then
stamping the remaining bears. The bears are watercolored in different shades of
orange. I liked using the "we love you" sentiment from Sentimental: Love because it further
indicates that the bears represent our specific family. The rest of the
sentiment is from the classic The Big, the Bold and You set.
Here's a peek at the inside of the card. If I'm not lining the
entire inside of the card with patterned paper, I usually pick 3-4 scraps of paper
from my drawer and layer them towards the bottom.
And here's the graduate reading her card with her mom. Love those
smiles! They are the sweetest people ever!
I get more use out of this bear from Welcome to the Family with Evelin T Designs than I
ever anticipated. He's not just for little kids; I've used him as the focal
point for birthday, graduation, friendship, and even my Father's Day cards this
year!
Thanks for looking!
