OSATT #177 - Back to School



Yes, the theme for this week is 'Back to School, so head over to One Stitch at a Time and add your offering and check out the rest of the DT cards. I chose 'Emma' by Sue of Beary Dust over at Stitchybear Digital Stamp Outlet. 

I used a card blank by Joanna Sheen. I matted a freebie Portobello Road paper on to dark red Papermill card as the background to Emma. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and after edging the paper with a red Promarker, matted it on to more dark red card so that it would stand out against the backing paper. I got some freebie school stamps with Creative Stamping Magazine so used a couple of those. After colouring I edged them with the red Promarker and set them at an angle in the right panel. The sentiment was generated on the computer and added to one of my new Spellbinder Resplendent Rectangle dies. I used the smallest rectangle as an extra embellishment and added some Wild Orchid Craft pearls for a bit of bling! This young lady has nail varnish on her fingernails and toe nails, wears lipstick, has a fancy hairstyle and is just SO not ready for school!

Please head over to the OSAAT challenge blog for details of the prizes for this week.

  1. Fabulous, Hazel - I love all the school-related detail you've been able to add!

    And no, you didn't miss my card - it wasn't there when I checked earlier - but it was one of the ones I made really early and it's on the DT blog before the sign up post, so I suspect that's how it got missed!

  3. Fabulous colouring Hazel and that digi is just so perfect - how I remember lots of my 12 - 13 year old pupils wanting to come to school on regular days and did on own clothes day. Such a shame most of them just did not want to be kids . What a cracking freebie with the paper, it is gorgeous, looks so rich on your card. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, what more can I say . Hugs Jane xxxx

  4. Such fun Hazel .... might there be just a bit of the rebel in you coming out in the way you have coloured the digi. Really makes me smile... I hope you know a reluctant year 11 student to give this card to. xx
