I kept it fairly simple with lots of white space but the sentiment (which is Stampin Up's Happy Everything) seemed so perfect for a graduation. The mouse is House Mouse's Oh! Happy Days and I thought it was also very fitting for the occasion. Now I'm not partial to mice at all but these little House Mouse characters are the sweetest and it's all good because they are not real! The image was coloured with copics and a bit of Antique Linen distress ink rubbed around the edges for shading. I used a Provocraft border to emboss the top and bottom, scored some lines and then added some little flatback embellishments and a bit of ribbon. Easy Schmeasy!
