Back to School

This week's challenge on StampTV MIUM is Back to School. We have to make a card with a back to school theme.

I looked through my stamps and realized the pencils were perfect for a back to school theme. Using my homemade stamp positioner I stamped a row of pencils. I then stamped the sentiment. Then to make it match the theme I cut out the word 'school', highlighted the edge and popped it up with foam tape.  I coloured the pencils and trimmed the panel. I used a piece of patterned paper for the background, added the pencil panel, and using a Glue dot attached a button with some baker's twine threaded through it and made into a bow. I put all this onto a white card base.
