I had the occasion to make a graduation card this year for a family member (I think I need to make another one, have to check on that). And you know me, I rarely do anything traditional, so here is my take on it.

I used a light-weight cardstock for the base because it's the color I wanted for the card, so I had to shore it up a bit. To do this, I decorated the inside of the card also. Not something I usually do.
