RBC10 & Graduation

Published by inkypaws at 10:44 pm under Rubbernecker Stamps, Spellbinders

It’s been busy around here the last few days. My son Brandon graduated (with Honors) Saturday morning with an Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Turing Scholars Program) from UT Austin. Both sets of of Grandparents, and Uncle, a Great Aunt and all his brothers and their families plus some family friends were able to come in and help us celebrate. We had a huge BBQ that ran late into the night. Here’s Brandon flanked by his proud Grandparents (my Mom & Dad on the left and my hubby’s Mom & Dad on the right).

Today’s Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge (RBC10) is a sketch that was created by Sherry.

My card:

The image was stamped on watercolor paper and then embossed with black embossing powder. I used a waterbrush and Adirondack reinkers to color the image.

    Oops! I think I mis-sketched the sketch a little bit. I like how my card turned out, so I sure hope it qualifies as an entry! Here it is:

    I couldn’t find the Adironack chair on the site so there is not a link to in on the blog post.

    Thanks for the Challenge and the awesome inspiration, Jeanne!!
