Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #172 Sponsored by DigiStamp Boutique

 Graduation Louie

 from DigiStamp Boutique

Good morning everyone and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday which means it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Today's card is for my son Liam once he Graduates from his present school and goes onto College next year.  He doesn't finish school until 12th December our Wedding Anniversary so I thought I would give him his card then and a little present to go with it.

As this card has been made for a young teenage male, I really didn't want to use a flower for my embellishments so I decided to make my own Graduation Certificate and Graduation Cap or Mortarboard as it's given name and I'm just so pleased how my card turned out.

Congratulations to our winner and our top 3 cards, great work ladies.

Here is this weeks Sketch you'll love the results and it's very simple and straight forward to make.
