Here is my card for the challenge inspiration. I used Wood Floors Dies from Penny Black.



I started by stamping and coloring School Friends set using my copic markers and then I cut the images using School Friends Coordinating Dies.



Next, I cut Wood Floors Dies out of white Bristol paper, then I colored the pieces using brown colors of distress inks & copic markers ( E37-E34-E31-E50) .



For the background, I ink blended 4×5.25 inch bristol paper using Distress Oxide ink Cracked Pistachio and some light blue dye inks. Then I stamped sentiments from School Bus Messages.

As a final step, I adhered floors onto the background, then I foam mounted School Friends images on it. I finished off the card by adding some Sparkling Clear Sequins.




So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

  7. So so fun, Marge! I have the same wood floor die and I have gotten it for the same set from PPP, so when I saw this card, I was like dang, we both think so much alike! I love the whole scene you have on the card. It is 2d but looks so so 3d. The coloring is insanely beautiful and the apples falling in the scene, everything so thought out and cute! I am going to case this idea soon and give you the credit. I love this stamp set so so much I am itching to use it again in the next couple of weeks when I have time (any time at all!) on my hands. Have a lovely day, friend! xx Ankita

  11. I just realized that I didn’t finish checking out my fellow DT’s projects last week!! What is wrong with me?!!? I guess the 1st week of school was all my brain could handle... Anyways... this is the CUTEST card, Marge!! I immediately had to check out that floor die. I’ve never seen that before but I love it!! And those adorable kids are colored so beautifully colored. This whole design is so fun and well thought out. I love it.
