School's Out (well almost!)



Hello friends ~

I decided to play with the latest Riley & Company Blog challenge ~ to celebrate National Teacher's Day (which was May 3rd).  In advance, I apologize for the photograph of my card, I finished it after dark this evening ~ couldn't get the right lighting. My School Girl Sophie image was the perfect choice for this challenge. I used some pattern paper from October Afternoon (Report Card & Campfire Collections) along with a coordinating border sticker (also from the OA Report Card Collection). My cardstock is from Gina K Designs, Ribbon is from SU! and I used a spiral clip from Creative Impressions. I also used a SU Open Scalloped Edge punch on the bottom of the card. Sophie was stamped with memento tuxedo black on a MFT Perfect Paper Panel and colored in with copics. I also used pop-dots to pop up the main image over the base of the card. I'm also entering this card in Jessie's Forgotten Stamp Friday Challenge #21.  Just love checking out her work!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs ~ LJ
