Special Teacher...

Every truth has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other three. -Confucius Today's card is for two challenges...this week's Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS is the Wonderfully sweet, Amazingly talented Shannan!!! I LOVED this card she made at first sight and thought it would be a good one for this stamp, which had yet to see ink. This week's Pink Elephant Challenge is Back to School, so it all came together for a CAS little card for Connor's new teacher.

I colored the little guy with Kohr-i-noor pencils and Gamsol, used PTI Twill ribbon and some new Bella Blvd Cabana paper. The sentiment is a muse and I finished the card off with a MS Crafts punch and a few tiny crystals. The entire image panel is popped up on Foam Adhesive Dots.

The inside mimics the outside layout and leaves lots of room for a message...

Supplies:
Stamps: Max Books (Stampendous,) for a special teacher (a muse)
Paper: Cabana (Bella Blvd,) Kraft (Memory Box,) Watercolor Paper
Ink: Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Misc: Crystals, Twill Ribbon, Kohr-i-nor Pencils, Gamsol, Blending Stumps, Adhesive Foam Dots, MS Crafts New Scallop Edger


Thanks for stopping by!
