Still working on graduation cards. My local high school's colors are Gold and Black (hope you don't get tired of the theme). The colors don't seem that girly to me, and that's what I need. For this card I used layers of flowers for softness. I added S.E. (the high school abbreviation) and the year (10) as my 'image'. I didn't have black letters (these are felt sticker letters), so I used my Copic to change the green and red to black. The S (red) is darker than the others, but I think it just adds to the charm. I saw a great idea, but don't think I'll have a chance to use it. Someone (sorry I can't remember who) made a graduation card that said SENIOR on the front. They'd used numbers (1 and 0) for the I and O (and lower cased the other letters) so it showcased the graduation year! sen10r....trust me, this looks much better on a card or scrapbook page than in type.

The bright yellow makes me think of summer, as well as graduations. School's out for summer!
Charisma Cardz #22 ~ Flowers
Little Red Wagon #31 ~ Altered Embellishment I altered the color of my felt letters.

I've used 8 buttons, 8 flowers (each bloom is double layered) and 8 squares (again double matted for the 'image' base).
