Back to School - It's that time of year again to hit the books!

It's Back to School Time!

I've started researching and playing more with digital images and seeing what and how supplies work with laserjet ink.

This little guy is from Craftin Desert Divas!

I embossed the Impression Obsession Books background stamp with copper embossing powder and then added some distress oxide inks to antique it even more.  I colored in the owl with my spectrum noir markers and added some sparkle with their glitter markers.

The 'Good Luck' Die cut is from an HSN bundle package and the embossed paper is also from the Crafter's Companion Diamond Edge HSN package.

Happy Crafting and good luck to all of those going back to school!

This card was entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Back to School Challenge and the Case This Sketch Challenge #236.

Back to School!

Hi Everyone!  Happy Sunday!  The minute I saw this sketch design by Chrissy Larson Case This Sketch Challenge #235 I knew instantly what I wanted to do!  With a little modification, I turned this into the old printing paper we had in elementary school to learn our letters!  This also fit in nicely with Rubbernecker Stamps newest challenge, Back to School!

I used double sided tape to add the glitter.  I used the files on my Brother Scan'n'Cut to create the apple and the 'school' letters.

Only tools needed for this card was a ruler, double sided tape, and glitter! 

This card was also entered in  the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday card challenge.

Altenew Garden Treasure & Spotlighting

What a labor of love these beauties turned out to be!  I stamped several of Altenew's Garden Treasure flowers in gold embossing powder down the left side of the card.  Then, I created a spotlight of one of the flowers on kraft paper.  I used watercolors to highlight the flower and then used pop-it dots to place the flower directly over the earlier embossed flower.  

When I matted the card, I dragged my versa mark ink over the right side of the card to create the gold edging.  I think it completes the card.  And... since I couldn't figure out what type of sentiment the card needed, I decided to leave it blank!

My inspiration came from the 4 Crafty Chicks Spotlight Challenge and since I decided to use Altenew products, I am also entering this card in their August Inspiration Challenge.  The design was inspired from the Case This Sketch #234 blog challenge.  I very rarely combine card challenges - but this week it all worked beautifully!

Happy Crafting!
