I realised late that I hadn't quite made my husband a card for his graduation ... so, I snuck in to my craft room really late after everything else was done and played with the SCS sketch challenge and came up with this! I even made the inside pretty too. I hope the overall effect is not pretty, but appropriate. He's graduating from seminary and for those of you who have read my blog for a while, you'd know that this has been a looooooooooong time coming! We are very thankful this journey has ended and I am very proud of Paul for working so hard and doing so well!I embossed all the black craft ink as well as the one cut out flower. I'd actually inked the flower up with VersaMark and then Kiwi Kiss so that I could emboss it. Easy technique and gives you a wider range of "craft" inks!
Hope you like it!

Congrats to hubby, love your card.
Once again, amazing work! I love the color combination and it lends toward a masculine look. Congrats to your husband and to you for your support and patience in the process.
WOOT WOOT to Paul!!! I know how much you guys have sacrificed and I think it shows his great character to have stuck it out. Bravo to you both for having the gumption to follow this journey! Congratulations!!!
