The photo for the inspiration challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is so adorable. It made me think of elementary school and one of my favorite teachers. I thought I had the best third grade teacher ever. Her name was Ms. Murray and she included some fun stuff in her class like plays and cool games with parachutes.For my card I used Sahara Sand for the card base and then layered on a piece of Modern Medley paper. I ran it through my Big Shot and the Wildflower Meadow TIEF. I gave the embossed flowers a quick sand to show them off and then added my funky tag. The greeting comes from Yippee Skippee and the butterfly is punched from Birthday Basics DSP. I included a bit of Basic Black Chevron ribbon, Summer Starfruit Sticked ribbon, and Cherry Cobbler bakers twine. And then could not resist a few bits of bling!
Be sure to check out all the fun things the design team has created over at Hand Stamped Sentiments using the inspiration photo.
I love the look of the sanded embossing. Too cool! I enjoyed reading about Ms. Murray. It amazes me what sticks in our minds after many years!
ReplyDeleteCuteCuteCute!!! I love this card! What grabbed me was the simple little bit of bakers twine. Tell me, how did you get it to curl and stay curled?
