Graduate Card w/ long horizontal piece

These cards use the set Great Grads. Most importantly, I got help from another stamper through inspiration in her stamped pieces. This was the inspiration post.

I've made some with a masculine feeling or a feminine feeling, based on the patterned paper and colors that I used. The striped and "starry" papers are from the retired Stampin' Up designer paper - Wintergreen. The flowery paper below is from the current Ginger Blossoms paper.

Thanks for looking!!
