Congratulations...

I am back after a mini vacation at Hershey, PA It was so much fun, the roller coasters, Hershey kisses but the best part of my vacation was that I got to meet my best friend/ cousin :) Though I was on a vacation some part of me kept working on card designs and ideas inspired by various challenges and here I am with a new card...

This card was inspired by the CAS-ual Friday's CFC113 - Use Kraft and Text, by the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #43 (I rotated the sketch) and by the theme at Curtain Call - Back to School. To make this card, I used both the stamp and my hand drawing. To make the pencil, I stamped the text (from Prima Marketing mini text stamp) after inking it up with brown, yellow and red inks to form different shades and part of pencil. I then used a scale to draw the pencil and fuzzy cut it. It was then lightly inked with a sponge. I then took a kraft card stock and hand drew the paper , fuzzy cut and inked it. I then wrote the sentiment. This was then stuck on white card stock using foam dots. To add finishing touches, I did some scribbling, just the way we do with a pencil. Added hearts (from Studio -G iClear stamps) and a paper clip from my stash.

The challenges are -


Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
