Graduation Card

I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to make a card for my niece's graduation. I used the holiday cricut card cartridge to cut out the card's shape. Then I used 3 birds on parade to cut out the graduation bird. The bird's face was stamped using peachy keen stamps. I had the grad brad in my collection, and the stamp is from My Creative Time. Her school color's are blue and gold, so I embossed my gold paper and chalked it with PowderPuff Chalk Inks.

I am entering it in the following contests:
