Boys Back to School...

I've created two cards for the youngest grandkids starting back to school - 

the other will be posted on Monday.  This image is from Melonheadz.

TECHNIQUE

Chipboard Slider

I started by choosing the background papers from my desk scrapes of  "Life of the Party" collection by  Basic Grey. The first yellow layer and the focal image panel's edges are inked with Distress Ink and matted with black.  From the 2nd BG paper I have created two elements as embellishment - one the fishtail banner and the 2nd a paper ribbon running through a chipboard slide.  This last reminds me of a child's backpack strap.  The image was colored with Copics.
