It's graduation time and I have a fun and easy layout to share with you. This layout features my daughter at her Senior awards ceremony. Her high school colors are black and gold which matched perfectly with this year's graduation collection at Michaels. I started by layering strips of each of the washi tapes in the bottom right of the layout. In the other corners of the layout, I used a stencil brush to add gold gelato through a star stencil. I recently purchased a Heidi Swapp Minc machine and wanted to add some gold foiling to the layout. Using the Minc machine, I created my own gold foiled diagonal striped patterned paper. I matte the photo with gold foil cardstock. I placed a piece of the diagonal striped gold foil paper behind the left side of the photo. The photo was glued on top of the washi tape. I used foam tape to pop up the graduation hat ephemera piece across the top left of the photo. I used my Cricut machine to cut the title and stars out of black gold
