You Rule!

The current Lawnscaping challenge is to add dimension to your project. The school year might be over, but I’m not done having fun with Lawn Fawn’s school themed A Good Apple set yet, so I pulled it out for the challenge.

I created dimensional elements for the chalkboard image. The chalkboard is paper pieced. I stamped the frame image on kraft cardstock, then filled in the inside with a piece of gray cardstock. The set’s “you rule” sentiment is heat embossed on the gray paper in white. I used a white ink pad to rub on some white “chalkdust” around the panel for a used look. The ruler and apple images are colored with Spectrum Noir markers. I used my favorite dimensional dots to put the apple in place.

In keeping with the school theme, I used more dimensional dots to attach the finished chalkboard image to a piece of dotted lined patterned paper that looks somewhat like old-school notebook paper. The paper panel is wrapped with some hemp twine and layered on a red mat, then adhered to a kraft card base.
