It's graduation time so I thought I would make a encouraging graduation card for this week's hop!
Also, I just got back from the Heirloom Rubber Stamp Show where I learned a great technique using Pan Pastels that I hadn't tried before so I decided to give it a whirl.

I just love how dreamy the umbrella man looks in those clouds. The picture does not adequately show the magnificence of the Pan Pastels on the cloud background! I very rarely create a one layer card but by using the Pan Pastels for this background- the card really pops and there isn't need for additional dimension.

Supplies used:
Impression Obsession Cover a Card Stamp

Versamark Watermark Ink

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Ranger Inkessentials Non Stick Craft Mat
Pan Pastels

Tim Holtz Umbrella Man
Seaside Stamping Go Confidently Stamp
