History-Grad Card

An historical card- Reviewing some of my cards is fun! 
I think as I keep posting them, you'll see that I have a large hoard of unsent cards! I would have to answer my survey at over 25 :)

This card is for a masculine graduation card...not using a cap and scroll.
The paper drove my design and is from the Basic Gray Cupcake Collection stack.
I used a Fiskars sentiment from the All Around Quotes stamp set. I stamped it in Versamark and heat-embossed it on a pre-cut scalloped square...die cut with Spellbinders and layered with one in a complementary color. The bicycle is a Tim Holtz stamp, from the Playful Journey set, which I embossed on a vellum strip. In lieu of ribbon, I used 2 coordinating paper strips to cover the edges of the vellum.

Thanks for looking!

These pinwheels are fun to work with!

And I love the glossy Dream Pop paper for backgrounds! Look at that shiny faux wood finish!

Card A uses a patterned strip off the top border of a double-sided sheet, and a non-CTMH sentiment.

For Card B, I cut this year's graduating class number using the Cricut Artiste cartridge, set at 1".
