SUO Challenge #281 – School Days
It’s that time of the year again soon where the kiddos will be heading back to school. So for SUO Challenges this time around, we have a back to school challenge card. CLICK HERE to see the new post on the blog page.
My card uses the retired Apple Builder Punch. The shapes were punched out and the edges were sponged with the coordinating ink color. I made the apple shine with a bit of Wink of Stella as well.
The stack of books were punched out using the curvy side of the Label Me Fancy Punch. The lines on the books are made with a black Stampin’ Write Marker and a ruler. All of the shapes were sponged on the sides with coordinating ink colors.
The sentiment on the card is from the Many Messages stamp set. It was heat embossed with white embossing powder and was then cut out on the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the Messages Die.
