Betsy’s Back To School card

Hello everyone!  Betsy here with this very cute back to school card using the In My Backpack and Little School digital stamp collections.  This was fun to make and every little one needs to have a back to school card to cheer them on!  Let me show you how I made my card.

I didn’t take many photos – really only 2 process photos.  That’s because this card started out with a different color of background. I use Microsoft Word as a program so I was able to change the color of the background and start again.  I laid out my elements like this on the first card so I simply printed it again on this blue background.

I kept my coloring very simple as I knew there would be a fair amount of colors used.  It didn’t take too long.  I also colored and the die cut my sentiment. 

Once it was colored I die cut the panel and mounted it onto an A2 side-folding white card base.  I added some hearts and stars sequins to the notebook, I added silver gel pen to the ferrule of the paintbrush, the bit on the end of the pencil, the zips and clasps on the backpack and the tiny screws on the scissors and the pencil sharpener.  I used Glossy Accents on the paints in the palette, the crayon emblem on the crayon and the box, the blades to the scissors, the pencil, paintbrush and crayon. I used tiny black letters scattered in the background and I also used them on the backpack.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights and that finished my card!

This was a fun card to put together and to color!  So many ways you could make this your own as there are so many images in each set!

Til next time…
