Thank you teacher

 

Today I am popping in to share a card I made for a couple of challenges. I combined this weeks Casual Fridays challenge who have joined forces this week with Clean & Simple Stamping. In addition I used the inspiration board from Polka Dot Door - I was particularly taken with the colours.

I don't know about your school, but our Primary School is mainly populated by female teachers. So I thought I'd use a non traditional, slightly feminine colour scheme for a teacher card.


Once again I used my new Happy Trails set - I love that pencil!


That's it from me today - school goes back tomorrow and I need to go through the check list to make sure I've everything sorted. Have a good week.

Debby

Supplies:

Stamps - Papertrey Ink happy trails
Inks - American Crafts blush, Martha Stewart pink carnation, Versacolor old rose, Versafine onyx black
Card - Papertrey Ink kraft, berry sorbet 
Button - Papertrey Ink spring mix
Twine - Stampin' Up
