Two young ladies from our church are graduating from high school this year. We had a small celebration for them at church this morning. These are the cards I created for them. They are almost identical except the pattern on the patterned paper. I die cut the patterned paper with a stitched rectangle die. Then I die cut several layers of the hat and adhered them all together to get some added dimension. I adhered the hats to vellum circles to help them stand out from the background. I die cut "congrats" and some small stars out of gold shimmer card stock.
The black and white patterned paper is so gorgeous. The black lines are raised and have a bit of shimmer and shine to them that looks amazing in real life! You can see a bit of it in the photo below as well as the dimension on the hat.
