Graduation Card for a Challenge!

I made this card for my Godson's high school graduation. I used the Craft Project Central's Creating Pretty Cards Sketch Challenge to help with the layout ~ 

So, of course, my focal point was the graduation cap, instead of the butterfly (I used my old tutorial HERE, with a little trim to make it 3/4" wide instead of 1" on the top of the graduation cap - it fit better for this card).  

Such a simple layout, but good for a clean look! Check out the challenge at Craft Project Cenrtal HERE for more details on how you can join in on the fun!
