This latest challenge was fun for me even though I do not have any children going "back to school" . That doesn't mean I don't have an affection for school supplies, especially pens, pencils and markers !! And I was lucky enough to hit the jackpot this past week and score some fabulous items at 75% and 90% off at WalGreens !! Before I go any further, I want to announce the winner of my 5 favorite supplies from my last post to celebrate IF YOU GIVE A CRAFTER A COOKIE'S birthday .. Marrianna Dougherty is the lucky commenter chosen at random. I will send your goodies out soon and hope you have fun with them !!
Isn't this just the cutest cookie photo ?!?!? Those pencils were my inspiration for the card I made . They reminded me of Kawaii-type illustrations. I have paper and washi and stickers etc.. designed like these pencils !!
- I printed all of my school supply elements from the School Supplies digi set from the Terevela Design shop on Etsy on Neenah Stardust White cardstock .
- A scrap piece of striped designer paper was adhered to a 5x7 Kraft card base using my MONO Adhesive+ Permanent Runner from Tombow.
- I fussy-cut the supplies and then brightly colored them with my favorite markers - Sharpies, Faber Castell and Akashiya SAI Waterbrush .
- The notebook page, book and crayon box were also adhered with my MONO+ Adhesive Runner.
- The pencils were popped up with Tombow Foam tabs to add some dimension.
- Using my DYMO Pink Label Maker, I made the navy blue "back to school" label for the piece of notebook paper.
- Of course, I had to take the picture of my card on a piece of pen/pencil paper along with some of my favorite supplies ( pencils and a mermaid wrap ruler ) .
I can't wait to see the projects from my fellow Design Team members over at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie . Take a look at what they have created and if you feel inspired, we would love for you to link up a project of your own. This challenge is open through October 2 . Thank you for visiting Meticulosity . I hope that you will comment and let me know your favorite "school" supply that you create with ..
