Just Because Card ~ 2 Teach (post #1)

Today's card could be used to give to that special teacher either as a thank you card or just because.
I have been having fun paper piecing using stamped and digital images.
It has been expanding my creative mojo to imagine how I can enhance the original image designs to meet my themed card idea.
I started with this cute little digital bird image.
Next I stamped and cut out the crayons and ruler using solid cardstock scraps.
Then I stamped and cut out the chalkboard image.
I finished it off by layering it all up using cardstock and design paper also from my scraps.


*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Card fronts 5.25 x 4 in. then cut in half diagonally.
*Birds from Clearly digi Stamps
*Chalkboard from an Inkadinkado stamp.
*Copic markers used B93, YR23, Y21, R29, and G19
*Stampin Up Real Red stamp pad for sponged edges.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad.
*Design paper scraps originally from Recollections Back To School package.
 

May your day always be filled with love.
Hugs,
D~
