A Very Proud Mum and Dad

Back in July 2012 our eldest son graduated.  It wasn't easy for him to get his degree as he was working full-time as well.  He has spent his working years in IT.

Today sees him start a new job in the NHS working at the same hospital that I work at.  Both his dad and myself are so proud on what he has achieved and we know he will give his new job his all.
The day could not go without me making a card.  I have used an image I bought some years ago from CraftsUPrint that was designed by Gordon Fraser.   It is called "Computer Whizz (red) A4".  Shall I tell you a secret - it's the same image I used for my son's first job card when he went into IT!!  I have added the NHS logo to the TV screen and made my own backing paper.  I printed off two of the same image - the first I fussy cut and the second I did as decoupage.

For the shape of the card I have used a Dutch Doobadoo Card Stencil.  I cut various layers out of white card and the backing paper, distressed all the edges with a Tim Holtz distressing tool and inked the edges with a chalk ink pad.

I have finished the card off with sentiment off the computer, peel-off stars and a ribbon bow.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Penny's Paper Challenge - Ribbon and bows
