The Tuesday after Labor Day was always the first day back at school when I was growing up. So, I am celebrating…
Several challenges also have this theme: Make The Card (#62), Make My Monday (#182), If You Give a Crafter a Cookie (#172) along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch (#489). I have also incorporated the Retro Rubber (#190) element and the colors suggested by Inspire Create (#124).
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
- Color Blocking: Real Red, Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie, Mint Macaron and Garden Green cardstock.
- The cardstock was die-cut with the (1⅞” x 1⅞”) stitched square die and the larger stitched banner die trimmed to a rectangle shape from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
- Tag: (3⅞” x 2”) Basic White cardstock die-cut with that sized stitched tag die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies set.
- The School Kids image from the retired Greeting Card Kids stamp set (Circa 2010) was stamped on to the tag with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- The image was colored with Stampin’ Blends. Skin – Light Petal Pink. Girl: Hair – Light Daffodil Delight, Dress and Trim – Light Mint Macaron and Light Real Red, Apple – Light Real Red. Boy: Hair – Bronze, Suspenders – Light Real Red, Shorts – mix Light Daffodil Delight, Light Balmy Blue and Dark Old Olive for Garden Green, Book and Sack – Light Pumpkin Pie.
- The word, September, from the retired Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set (Circa 2015) was also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- Sentiment Banner: Real Red cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, Best Wishes, from the Jan-Feb SAB 2022 retired Special Moments stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder and trimmed.
All of the elements were assembled and adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch which I flipped to the horizontal position to accommodate the Tag. A little piece of retired Poppy Parade Twine from the Country Club Combo Pack was added to dress up the Tag which was popped up with Dimensionals.
