Well, it's the beginning of September and the kiddos are heading back to school today....where did the summer go?? I don't know if the kids are saying 'Yeah!' or if it's the parents feeling ready for them to go back. I was inspired to create a card for the CAS Challenge at Splitcoast called Team Spirit. I won a few digi images from Bugaboo so decided to use one on my card. They are so cute and so easy to colour.
I began by printing of the digital image onto heavy weight cardstock. I coloured it with Copics then fussy cut the image out. I then cut a frame using a square Spellbinders die and mounted the kids behind that. I added a piece of gingham paper as a backing to help make the image pop. I used a negative square cut piece as my main panel then mounted the frame with pop dots in the center of that. The 'Hooray' sentiment is from the Penny Black set called Sweet Wishes.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
Simply Create Too- SOMETHING NEW (digi images)
Virginia's View- PATTERN PAPER
Brown Sugar- ANYTHING GOES
Thanks so much for coming over and taking a look. Your most kind comments are so very appreciated!
Supplies: stamps- Penny Black, Digi- Bugaboo/ Copic markers/ Spellbinders die/ Memento bl/ pop dots

Talk about cute!! Love those kids and they look so happy and gorgeously coloured. I always think there is an all-round sigh of relief when kids go back to school. I know we always have a blast and love not having to run around in the morning, I think the kids are ready to be with their friends again each day and us parents need a bit of quiet. Makes you then look forward to the next holidays!!
I love the way they are popping out of the frame. This is so cute, it really brought a smile to my face :)
Have a fabulous and crafty day!
