The end, the finals.... graduation. You did it, way to go, follow your dreams, imagine the possibilities.
Time for graduation cards. How do you make them personal, but general for others to buy... can't go wrong with black and white, and then a spot to put a gift card, that's what every graduate needs.... money! These cards all have a sentiment I designed and printed on the computer.... cut to size for the card, and added the graduation 'symbol'... the hat, cap, mortar board, of course with a cute tassel.
The Mortar Board, or the graduation cap was named because of it's similar appearance to the 'hawk' or spade used by brick layers to hold the mortar. Viewing paintings from the Renaissance period many Italian nobles wear the casual capo (captain) head wear of the 15th century. The higher and the wider the hat... the more importance of the wearer.
The tassel has a significance... which side you wear it on, and when you cross the stage as a graduate you move it to the other side. School colors is often the choice for high schoolers, then as you go on to college... the tassel color can relate to your field of study or it can mean the honors with which you graduate.
