My baby is graduating...where does the time go

Well, what can I say, I feel OLD.  My son, my one and only child, my baby is graduating this year in June.  I am so proud of all he has accomplished and I am so excited to see where his future takes him.  I hope he has a wonderful life and is prosperous in every way and as happy as happy can be.  

Ok, enough blubbering before I cry.  I made this card for him today.  I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to get it done.  His school colors are blue and white.  I tried to capture the right blue on his cap and gown.  He loves his jeans, sneakers and he has a lot of dark purple shirts.  I wish you could see how vibrant the colors are IRL.

The background is done with a relatively old TJ Newsletter technique called Bingo Blast.  I used my distress ink stains and I love love love the way it came out.  I think it is so perfect for the image. 

I used a digi image fro Mo Manning colored with copics.  I used Stampin Up! sentiments as well as two step stamps for the faux fireworks.  They are from a flower set that I have where you stamp the flower petals and these are the insides of those flowers.  I thought they would make perfect fireworks.

So I hope he likes his card and I hope you enjoy it as well.  Have a crafty day and as always thanks for stopping by.
