Happy Graduate...

As spring turns summer many young and not so young are getting ready for graduation.  It's a happy time for the graduate, the family, and friends. A good friend commissioned this card for her grandson's graduation this weekend.  He's graduating from high school one day and community college the next day with an associates degree. 

I've used this cute image from Mo's.  I thought he expressed the feeling of many after their hard work.  I found the paper a few weeks ago, not knowing I would need it.  The sentiment is from a $1 pack of stickers from A.C. Moore. The image was colored with my prismacolors pencils and gamsol.  I was going to do more 3D work, but time got away from me; but I did color an extra hat (or mortar board) to pop it up.

Here's the inside of card:

Here's the back of card:

This was a fairly easy and simple card for me; as I didn't use too many elements.  After the image, I wanted the paper to be the focus.
