Hats off!

My dearest friend's son is graduating from high school in a few weeks. He is a very sweet young man who was once a fabulous babysitter for my son. Despite all the wonderful things about him, he is a male and when it comes to graduation things for boys I am always at a loss. I broke down and sent a gift card with the card I made because really, I don't know what teenage boys really WANT. He will be heading off to college in the fall and as I recall there are always a ton of things you didn't know you would need. Hopefully, he sees it that way too.
Here's the super quick card I made up for him.

The background is really a sheer fabric with the design on already on it covering a bright blue cardstock. Talk about a quick solution! The graduation cap is from Stampin Up. I don't know where I got the unmounted "Congratulations" though I wish I did because I really like the font. All the stamped images are heat embossed for an extra little something.
