Happy Graduation!

I made a couple graduation cards with the new Outline Congrats die from Simon Says Stamp's latest release, Blossoms and Butterflies...

I used two layers of die cut black and blue (below) card stock letters, and one die cut gold layer of just the outlines of the die cut.  I die cut and layered the graduation cap from the new Congrats Grad die set.  I used a gold marker to put a tiny definition in the tassel(it's all about the details), and three layered die cut stars to balance and give some fun to the card.  The background is from a cool set of Simon stamps, Geometric Pattern Builder stamp set.  I thought it was just the right amount of background, giving some fun design to the card.  Here's a close up...
