This is a card for my friend's son to give to his teacher.The information which I was given were the names of the teacher and the class. The rest was up to me.
I chose red for the Ruby birthstone challenge at Daring Cardmakers combined with a gingham pattern for Simon Says Stamp's Check it out challenge! I decided to do the old faithful apple and books. I didn't have a book image large enough for this A5 format. So I drew the pile of books using the shapes in MS Word. I think it looks quite like a pile of books! Whilst I was at it I did the sentiments too!
The rest is kinda straightforward... Cuddly Buddly paper and Cuttlebug corners.
that's an impressive pile of books Chrissie - as part of an adorable card. thanks for rolling out a ruby card with DCM this week :)

great looking books Chrissie...
ReplyDeleteyou get away with sending thankyou cards to your childs teacher when they're younger. then they plain refuse to take them. Only recently i did a thank you card from me to my sons head of year because she let him off school so we could all go away for a weekend - i'd explained about the rubbish year we'd had... he never gave it to her and the momentum went - i know better now and will post in future.... boys!
