Did you miss me... I missed you!!!
Not quite Back to School for us here in Australia, but Back to Spring!!!
Inspired by the fabulous bright colours and theme, together with this fortnights amazing sketch from FUSION, I created this teacher themed card using Paper Smooches Falling for You paper pieced apple and Giddy Bugs sentiment. Looks like a few of our Design Team had the same idea incorporating pencils into their cards this fortnight. I had such fun creating the "wood" in my pencils by punching a scalloped circle then creating a doughnut shape with a smaller circle cut from the centre of the scalloped circle. Then cutting wedge sections from the donut as the "wood" and trimming a strips of coloured paper to size as the coloured lead and painted sides of the pencils. Papers are a mix of Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine, Prima Sunny Days and American Crafts Amy Tangerine Yes Please.
