"School of Rock" @ Red Carpet Studio

Our challenge this week is inspired by Jack Black and his movie "School of Rock"  ~ to make a Back to School card.  I have to say I almost forgot to make my card for the challenge... in fact last night I suddenly realised I should have had done by Thursday last week.... Panic stations!!!!

But good old Bugaboo to the rescue.  Off I went to the website and purchased this image... They have heaps of images suitable for Back to School cards.

Here's what I did

The background is from MyGrafico (Lindsay's Stamp Stuff)  I distressed round the edge and added some black ink and smudged some black ink over it.  I printed out Deacon and coloured with Copics.  I coloured the blackboard with a black Copic and then using a white gel pen I wrote the alphabet.  I finished by fussy cutting Deacon and adding some glossy accents to the apples.


Be sure to hop over to the blog and see what the others created and join us with your Back to School cards.

ETA:  Added to the Linky party over at Craftin Desert Diva's (Thanks for the heads up Tara)
and Back to school over at The Paper Nest Dolls challenge.

 

Mygrafico Monday Feature~ Back to School

Monday again and it's another feature over at Mygrafico.  Our Back to School challenge is still on here... and this week we are showcasing this wonderful set by Sweet Chic.

It has some delightful images and is prefect for Back to School projects.  I enjoyed use it so much I ended up doing three projects....

First up... some bookmarks.  I made these for the daughters of two of my workmates.  I googled some quotes to finish them off.  The background paper is included in the kit.

Next up, a teacher thank you card.

I have been using Word to make my cards.  I'm learning how to layer and make backgrounds transparent.    I gave this card to Alia (who is 5 and in her first year at primary school) to give to her teacher.

And finally I did a very CAS card.

These images are superb to play with.   I am entering these cards into Simon Says Stamping  ~ Back to School challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget our challenge.
