Fall off your Horse

I’ve had a crazy final semester so I didn’t actually start thinking about making a grad cap until this last Tuesday (since my final thing was due on Monday haha)

I knew I had to do something Phineas and Ferb themed, so I started with writing down quotes that I liked!

I was planning to do a couple designs with some of the different quotes but I immediately fell in love with this Curtain Call / Time Spent Together concept (which felt fitting) so I actually just ran with this design!

So I booted up photoshop and made a mock-up using:

A picture of ribbon I was planning to use

Flowers I had and was planning on using (that I had laid on my cap to see how I wanted to maybe arrange them)

And of course these last day of summer screenshot that I love dearly (I spliced the two together so I could have Isabella smiling)

The purpose of the photoshop was largely to get the sizing of the characters and text for me to print out!

I actually did this whole design on some cardboard I cut out and velcroed to my hat (caught up on some drawfee/spilled ink while I hand sewed velcro this morning haha)

The plan being I could glue watercolor paper to the cardboard and paint the background there (for texture reasons, then glue ribbon around the edge to made it look nice! And that’s exactly what I did! :)

Then I hot glued flowers and used foam tape to elevate everyone and the lettering!
