Con-GRAD-ulations!

Why do I always leave everything to the last minute?  Oh yeah, I'm a procrastinator.  Le sigh.  I really wanted to join in at CAS(E) This Sketch challenge but was having trouble coming up with something.  Well, my nephew graduated from highschool this month and I needed to make a card for him and suddenly a lightbulb went off in my head.  Scared the heck out of the hamster!  LOL!  Anyway, here's the great sketch....

And here's what I came up with....

Aren't those arms hilarious?  It's such an iconic image the throwing of the grad caps.  I had to get creative to get those arms too. They are from a set by Recollections and those are fairy arms!  The set has two fairies some sentiments, flowers and flourishes.  I'm sure they never figured it would be used in this fashion.  :-). Anyway,  the grad caps are also by recollections given to me by a friend.  The sentiment is by Fiskars.  I love how this turned out.  I hope my nephew does too.  :-)

I've got another card to share but that'll be another post.  Have a fabulous morning!
