Back To School

This week I have created a card using the Secretary Pool plate, perfect for those back to school makes.

I used the alphabet background stamp to create my background, adding a wash of Gesso to give a more muted colour and chalky finish. I also added machine stitching in rows to appear like lined paper and it also adds great texture.

I also added the young girl from the Kudzu Kafe plate, coloured with Distress Markers. For added dimension and texture I have also included letters cut from mountboard adding ultra thick embossing enamel to each. I have also included mini numerals coloured with alcohol inks for further interest, along with paperclips, stamped pencil, mini wooden pencils and mini chalkboard clip.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
