May Cookies - Take 2

With everything going on around here the past month, I totally missed the first cookie challenge of May for If You Give a Crafter a Cookie . UGH !!!  So not like me -- and I apologize.. I am always understanding when life get in the way -- and this time it was me whose life got in the way !! But I'm back for this latest challenge and it's all about the Graduate !! 

Isn't that a gorgeous cookie photo ?!?!?!  I don't have anyone in my family who is graduating so I will be sending the card I've made to one of my friends who can use it !!

• The Brainy Books image from Lily of the Valley Digi Stamps on Etsy was printed on Neenah Stardust White cardstock and cut to fit the front of a card.
• I colored the books with a variety of my favorite markers - Faber-Castell, Brea Reese, Stampin' Up, & Distress markers.
• I stamped the year lengthwise and cut it to fit on the left lower side of the card.
• 2019 was adhered to the card with foam tabs.
• I adhered the digi image to a pink patterned card base with a Tombow MONO + Permanent Adhesive Runner.

I am excited to see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with for this Challenge. Take a look over at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie  and let us know what you think . We would love it if you would link up a project of your own also. The  Challenges run for 2 weeks so be sure to have your project linked up before May 30. Thank you so much for visiting Meticulosity !!

May Cookies - Take 3

How lucky are we that we get to have 3 helpings of cookies in May !! The more cookies the better !! Our Challenge this time is all about graduation and gold.. It is that time of year when our children, friends and family members graduate and move on to the next phase in their lives. I did not have any specific graduation stamps but as you all know, that has never stopped a stamper from creating a card!! This is our inspiration picture for the next 2 weeks and our sponsor is Imagine That Digistamp. They will be providing a prize to one lucky person who links up a card .

I made my card for a co-worker who recently obtained her BSN while working full time at the hospital and taking care of her family. No small feat !! I made it a bit flowery but also stayed with a simple gold theme for the stamped image. I hope you like it !!

• I stamped the typewriter from the Stampendous "Floral Typewriter" set onto a piece of watercolor paper, using Memories India Black Ink. The bravo stamp is by Stampin' Up.
• I trimmed the image and then matted it with some gold glitter paper, leaving just a small area of the glitter showing around the edges.
• I adhered the stamped image to a floral wood-designed card base with Tombow adhesive. 
• Using a gold Kaisercraft Glitter gel pen, I highlighted some areas of the typewriter and the flowers.

Check out the projects by my teammate's here. And head over to the Imagine That page and look at all of their fantastic digis !! I appreciate you taking the time to visit Meticulosity. Comment on my Coffee Blog Hop posts for a chance to win some blog candy !!
