Make the Grade

Here’s my card for this week’s My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge. I made another teacher card, this time using the Pure Innocence Emma and Her Backpack image.

Emma is colored with Copic markers and cut out. I added a clear crystal at the center of the flower in her hair for just a little bling. I mixed and matched a few different patterns from a Studio Calico paper pack for the card’s panels. I thought the ABC block pattern was perfect for a school-themed card—and that the star pattern was, too! The panels are arranged on a red card base. I stamped the “you make the grade” sentiment from another Pure Innocence set in red ink on a cream circle and added that to the cardfront. A piece of faux stitched red grosgrain ribbon makes a simple coordinating accent for the panel.
