Girls Back to School...

This is the 2nd Back to School card I made... this one with Office Supplies for the new Craft Your Passion Challenge.

Craft Your Passion's Challenge is "Office Supplies" and will run today thru Sunday 9/1.  The prize sponsors this go around are  from Melonheadz and The Robin's Nest.  Check out the other projects from the Design Team if your mojo needs a boost!

TECHNIQUE

I started with a Melonheadz image and scraps from the Basic Grey "Soleil" collection for the background.  I love that soft lavender and blue - and I used that color scheme for my focal image.  Around the edge of each of the DP panels I hand drew a frame on one and faux stitching on the other with a Micron pen.  I colored her with Copics, fussy cut her and rounded her with a large ball tool from the back.  I added the office supplies of the sticky note, 2 colored staples and two paperclips with a purple "flag" attached and mounted my image with foam tape to maintain the dimension.

  2. Cute card Ginny but I'm sorry to tell you that this card is inelligible for consideration as the OSAAT challenge you have entered it in closed on Saturday night. This weeks challenge #178 is "Anything Goes - with a Twist" where the rules for the challenge specify the use of a digital image from the Stitchy Bears Online shop www.stitchybearstamps.com/shop/
    There is some good news though, the StitchyBear shop has a 40% sale running until 2nd Sept amd it would be lovely to see you re-enter our challenge with your cute work. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
