ConGRADulations!

I teach 6th grade science at a middle school in NY.  My department head just finished her PhD.  This is for her.
The image is from Stamping Bella , which I watercolored.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.
I don't know if you can read the pattern paper, but that is from Echo Park.  The words on the paper are about Graduate and School.

I'm putting this into the following challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays CFC164

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge  - Anything Goes

and Cute Card Thursday also Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look.
