MIM #178: Back to School Easel Card

This week the challenge was to make an easel card using a die from our stash.

I went with a Spellbinder label die; the base is embossed with the PTI woodgrain plate.

I used vintage cream ink for the chalk look & the wonderful words 'teacher' set for stamping/teacher die.

May Arts Baker's twine & 5/8" burlap stitched ribbon in brown anchors the DCWV chalkboard paper.

This is a really fun technique & I had such great intentions of making several cards this week, but here it is after 11pm on Sunday.

*sigh*

I do have a fair excuse- THIS happened this week:

WHAT?

HOW did this happen?

More of that fab DCWV paper with REAL chalk for our sign!

(yes, I did coordinate the ribbon with her outfit for the sign!)

And yes, she IS nearly as tall as I am already. 

Chuckle. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great week!
