A Graduation Card

I am going to a graduation party this weekend for my nextdoor neighbor's son, so I made this card for him.

I saw a youtube video on how to do the "emboss resist" technique, so I tried it for this card.  It was very easy and I loved the results!  

Details:
Patterned Paper from unknown source (I bought a "holiday" pack of 100 sheets of paper - this was the VERY first scrapbook paper I bought!), Solid cardstock by The Paper Co, Stamps by Studio G, Clear Embossing Powder by Inkadinkado, Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad, Tim Holtz Distress Inks,

PS - Please stop back tomorrow and join me in the Sherrod Studio blog hop!
