Graduation Hippo Cards

I have two graduation cards for today that are a little different but you have to try new and different things to see what works and what you like. The hippo stamp is by Fiskars and is colored in with Copic markers. I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink. The bckground cardstock is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug. The sentiment stamp is by Clearly Besotted. The grad cap is a Jolee's sticker.

The stamps are from the same stamps set. This embossing folder is by Darice and the twill on the top and bottom are by Karen Foster.

Thanks for looking.
