I love the cute tassels in this image for this challenge - so fun! I decided to play along with this fun graduation card:

I needed a quick graduation card so I made this clean and simple card. Although I love the colors in this challenge I ended up making the card mostly orange and black (the school colors of the graduate) and I colored the kitty black since their mascot is the panthers! I used the cat image from one of our first - and still favorite sets, Newton's Antics. Then I added the words "congrats on your graduation" under him from the Simply Sentimental stamp set. I added a graduation cap by cutting our a square and added on a tiny homemade tassel from orange and white bakers twine. I attached it through  the center and put a brad over the hole. I used a dimensional sticky dot to raise up the hat. And then, washi tape to add in some more of the orange!
