Thanks to My Favorite Teacher

This week’s blogger challenge theme is buttons and bows. I used one of each on this teacher appreciation card based on the current Mojo Monday sketch.

I used the bookworm image from the Clear and Simple Stamps Flashcards stamp set as my focal image. The worm was colored with Copic markers, cut out, and adhered to a die cut kraft tag using foam tape. The word “thanks” from the Rag Doll: Super Hero set was stamped beneath the worm in black ink.

I layered the tag on a blue cardstock panel over a light blue cardstock square stamped with the alphabet text image from the Playroom stamp set. I topped the tag with a light blue paper bow die cut with one of the dies from the Bow Trio Mini set. I added a narrow red Favor Flag strip stamped with the word “teacher” extending out from the top of the bow. The end of the Favor Flag is folded around a stick pin from my stash.  I tucked the end of the pin underneath the tag, safely away from anyone's fingers!  A red button, threaded with some natural twine, was adhered to the tag to complete the design.
