Graduation cards

I've made three graduation cards and the funny thing is that I don't know anyone graduating!  (Edited to say since I wrote this up I've sold one of these cards and received a graduation announcement from my husband's cousin's son, so these cards were well timed after all!).  These cards are for this week's CAS-ual Fridays "Graduation" theme.  I used the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge as a jumping off point.

And this last card was partially inspired by Amber's card, b/c I thought "wait, I do have that impression plate" and then I was Etsy surfing for the Wee Memories Etsy Inspired/Pineterest challenge and spent some time drooling over some fabulous letterpress cards and ended on this one and decided to use the technique from my last post and ink up the impression plate.
