Congrats are in order
to my youngest nephew who was recently accepted into the med school of his choice. Not sure what area of medicine will catch his eye but he's a very good student and I'm sure he'll do well no matter what he chooses.
I cut out Tim's Hanging Sign from cardstock and distressed it with various brown and black inks (can you see a bit of the faux woodgrain look?) before running the sign through a Provocraft folder for the word 'congrats'. I then added more highlights to the word with darker distress inks. The background was stamped with Tim's stamps (bet he never thought they'd be used to indicate a profession!) in Black Soot so that when I smooshed brown and black distress inks over it the images smeared, taking away any sharpness. I really like this look! A black marker was run around the edges to create a faux layer.
