Happy Friday!! And happy end of August and almost-beginning-of-September (which means STAMPtember - but more on that in my next post!!! 😉).
My monkeys head back to school/start school next week - part of me is excited and part of me is a little sad (I think most parents can relate lol). Anywho - I thought I'd made a fun card for back to school and made them for the 2 youngest we have headed to school this year:
I used Simon Says Stamp's School Bus Messages stamp set, and combined with with the Diamond Pattern background wafer die and one of their Picture Book Monkey wafer dies (b/c especially the littles I like to call my monkeys).
Laura Bassen made the cutest little card with this set and I had got a kick out of how she used the monkey (great minds and all that) AND the little Labrador Picture Book character on hers - you can see it HERE. Love!!
I stamped the bus onto Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured it in with Copic markers. I also die cut the monkey from the same card stock and used Copics to color all the pieces.
I used some Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow 6x6 patterned paper for my card front - just a bright and cheerful pop of color peeking out behind the Diamond Pattern wafer die (I LOVE this wafer die! I didn't think I'd reach for it as often as I do and yet I reach for it a LOT!).
I finished off the inside of the card with more of the patterned paper, and sentiments from the School Bus Messages stamp set and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:
