I punched a yellow cirlce and drew the smile with a Copic pen (actually traced around the bottom half of a smaller circle). They eyes are a cute little stamp from Technique Tuesday's Simple Sentiments. The congratulations sentiment is from Paper Smooches Word Up set -- these are my two favorite stamp sets.
Then I cut out a cap and twirled a length of twine for the tassel.
My first card was just the smiley face, cap and tassel on a white card. It is okay, but needed something. Hence the background paper of teeny tiny colored dots. I think the patterned paper adds a little depth and the smiley face pops.
The second card will be posted to Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenges Blog -
Anything Goes
