Graduation Cards

In addition to the baby card from the last post, I needed to come up with a graduation card. Both of these cards use the same pieces. I used the chipboard star and covered it with encore silver ink and then I clear embossed over it. That is where the texture came from. I wanted to use a neutral pallet so I went with black, white, and gray. I have the star punches on order so if the campers want to add punched out stars in the school colors that will be easy. I thought about adding some ribbon, but kind of liked the cleaness of these cards and thought if they were going to a guy it didn't really need any ribbon. What do you think? How could these be spiced up a bit?
