Graduation Bouquet -- CAS + a surprise inside at Crafter's Cafe

We have an especially fun challenge for you at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge: CAS + a Bright Surprise inside. Here's the recipe: Make a card, with the front in a CAS style with mainly a black and white sentiment, but decorate the inside with bright colors, embellishments, etc. Doesn't that sound fun‽

I used "Spring Cart" from Robin's Fetish for this graduation pop-up card.

I made a little diploma scroll from copy paper, distressed the edges with Antique Linen ink, and stamped one of my favorite sentiments in black (Clear Art Stamps). I made the mortarboard with a square of black cardstock, a black gemstone, and a die-cut tassel.
