Hi, its Lisa Lara here with my Light Bulb Moments post today.
This card works great for those graduations coming up.

So I started with a black cardstock base folded at the top. Then I cut a black rectangle using the largest die from SugarCuts-Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles. The light bulb image from Adorkable and the “Shine Bright” sentiment from Sparkle & Shine just work perfect together. Especially for a graduation card, I thought. I put it on black paper to emphasize shining bright with the contrast of the dark.
I heat embossed the sentiment first then did the light bulb right over the dot for the “i” in “Bright”. Then I stamped another light bulb but using black Copic compatible ink on white cardstock. I colored it with Copics, cut it out, popped it up with dimensional tape then added Glossy Accents and let it dry. A pretty simple, easy card with a definite focal point and message. And is a less traditional graduation card!
