Back to School is this week's theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I've been a kid, I've been a teacher and I've been a parent and I have to say that back to school time is my favorite as a parent! I decided to make a card in honor of this wonderful return to academia.
I assembled what I had so far, dabbed on some white paint, then decided to add a few more layers of patterned paper (Market Square and Color Study). I taped the paper together and ran it through my die-cutter again, then glued it to the bottom of the loopy opening. In retrospect, it would've been easier to make my paper collage and then die-cut the whole thing just once, but hindsight is 20/20 and I wasn't sure where I was going with the card at first.
I glued my colored portions down and added some washi tape and some paint in various colors. Then I stamped and cut out the word "Learn" using Dina Wakley's Alpha Blocks stamp set. I also cut a notebook edge using an Altenew die. Once I had all the elements, I glued it together and my card was done.
