Back to school.

Hello all!
I've been a bit thin on the ground with postings this week but I've been working on some other non-card related bits - I need to get a few things done before I head back to the UK for a visit again!

           Anyway, as Friday has arrived, it means a new challenge over at The Outlawz for the Copics/Promarkers group and this week our theme is, as the post title says - 'Back to School'.  I know that there's still a few weeks to go until term starts in the UK but they start a whole lot sooner over here in the States.  My niece will be starting 'big' school at the end of September when she'll be 5 - I'm not sure if she's excited or not.......  I can't wait to get a photo of her with her new school uniform on :)
                   Still, enough waffle - I made a card that I hope will appeal to all ages as there are plenty of adults who bravely head out to continue their education, plus I thought it would also be a good thank you teacher card as well.

 

 

                    I found the image by doing a Google image search for schoolbooks; it's actually a colouring book page and one of my fellow DT members (thanks Jo!), tells me it's from Elizabeth Dulemba.  I coloured it with Copics and I also did the splodgy background by dripping some of the copics blender and a few drops of the refills in the same colours as the books.  The background is done with a rubber stamp from http://www.blockheadstamps.com/ and I added some ribbon and craft tape - the opening was cut using my Cameo and I popped the image up with some foam dots.

 

 

 

I would like to put this card into the following 'Back to School' challenges -

Dreamy lilac butterflies.....................

Getting back into the swing of things after a few weeks away from crafting and blogging, so I decided to get a card made for the current Dillybeans challenge.  This week it's fabric and fibres - I'm guessing that ribbon and lace count in that category :)

I used the digi 'Girl and butterflies' which is available from Megan's new blog here - don't forget that you have the chance to win some fab digis from Megan if you enter the Copics/Promarkers Friday challenges this month at The Outlawz as she has generously agreed to be our sponsor this month :)

This is one of my favourite images from Dillybeans - I just wish my hair was that flowing instead of being dead straight!

I would also like to put this card into the following challenges -
