Grad card for Mac!

Feels like just yesterday the first great grandchild on my fathers side was born. And now here he is graduating from high school and getting ready to set off on the next adventure of his life. Studying to become a paramedic. And because he lives three provinces away I need to get this in the mail ASAP.

The card sketch is over at Freshly Made Sketches this week. I was so inspired by Allisa's card with the banner in the top corner I followed her layout. The black dotted paper is from Bo Bunny (Natural Necessities Double Dot Designs) the grey paper is from the amazing Dream Pop paper pack from Close to my Heart. The hat stamp is from SU Sketch an Event (2002) and the Congrats is from CTMH Kudos.

I used some premade cards & envelopes from Reflections, Stampin up DSP pack, old olive paper and ink, cherry cobbler ink and some red gems to match. My Christmas card stash is up to 26 now thanks so much to this fantastic challenge.
