This week at the Paper Players, Ann has a fun theme challenge for us! She is challenging us to create a project based on "School Daze". As a teacher, I know that school will be starting soon and I wanted to make a special card for the staff I worked with last year, to help them celebrate the start of the new school year! I thought this sentiment from "Pursuit of Happiness" was the perfect sentiment for a group of teachers.
I also inked up another new set called "Fruit and Flowers". As soon as I saw this set in the catalogue I knew I had to have it! I love the apple image and inked it up in "Poppy Parade" (you must know by now that I LOVE this colour) and "Lucky Limeade" which is a new In Colour for 2011-2012. I highlighted the entire card with Chocolate Chip for contrast. I also used the School Lines single stamp to create the lines for my sentiment and to stamp the background of the card.
I also finished off the inside of the card with the School Lines stamp and another apple that I coloured with markers and huffed. The apple on the front is nested in the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and the 2 3/8" Circle Punch. Can you see the school lines on the front of the card too?
We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week! Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!
