Paper Smooches SPARKS-Just a Note

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! *** 

This week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is an anything goes challenge. I put together a school themed design using PS's Smarty Pants stamp set and Easel die.

I stamped the professor image on white cardstock and colored him with Copic markers.  After cutting him out using the matching die from the Smarty Pants Icons dies, I coated the lenses of his eyeglasses with Glossy Accents to get a glass-like look (which, unfortunately, doesn't show well in my photo).

The easel was die cut from kraft and gray cardstock.  I stamped the "just a note" sentiment from the Sentiment Sampler set on the gray piece in white pigment ink, then heat embossed it to make it look more like chalk. The assembled easel and professor were arranged on a background with a hand drawn and colored "floor".  The finished panel was adhered to a kraft card base.

We hope you’ll join us and share a project using Paper Smooches stamps or dies. One participant in this week’s challenge will win a $30 gift certificate to the PS store!
