Hi peeps! Thursday is here..almost the weekend, yay! Laurel has a fun Inspired By prompt for us, another back-to-school one....'tis the season, right?! Cassidy will be starting August 26 and I know some schools in the south start even before that! Anyway, here is my card using a bunch of older stuff and a new-ish set as well:
And here is the challenge photo:
Isn't that fun?! What a cute centerpiece! I concentrated on the reds and greens as well as the polka dots!!! I stamped these apples from a retired SU set called Perfectly Preserved in Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green and used the matching dies to cut them out. My background paper is some Papertrey I've been hoarding FOREVER, and just had to break it out; I diecut it with a Nested Stitched Label die and topped it with a polka-dotted banner:
I heat-embossed the sentiment from Fable Friends in white on an Early Espresso banner; I decided the right side of my card looked a little bare, so I added an embossed stitched line and threw on a few sequins:
I left the inside blank so I can use it for whatever occasion that arises! This card makes me smile too!
What about you....what inspires you? The numbers, the colors, that cute little school bus? I hope you'll play along with us at Inspired By and share your creation with us, and be sure to check out the awesome samples from the DT while you're there!
Here are a few more birthday cards:
