Here is my card for today's sketch. I really liked this layout. I decided to not color the image ~ not sure if that was the right call or not.
This graduation card is for my daughter who graduated from college last semester. I am so proud of her! While in college ~ she worked, got married and had a baby (little Oliver) and still managed to graduate with a 4.0!!!!
Thanks for looking

So effective with all shades of grey. The stars are the perfect embellishment. You must be very proud of your daughter and bet she is very proud of herself!

I think this is great. You were right not to color it...the simple lines of the image and the two colors really adds an elegance. Perfect for a male, or even an older graduate...sometimes the youthful cards and not the right fit for them. I am going to CASE this idea with my HM...thinking of a Valentine card for my son!
