Picnics and Back to School

 Happy Monday! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

As You See It #354 - Mood Board Theme: Picnics

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #262 (Throwback Sketch)

AllSorts #830 - Something Beginning with "B" (basket)

Classic Design Challenge - Anything Goes

Papers are from Doodlebug Designs. I used a decorative edge oval die cut for the center and some gemstone stickers for embellies. The stamp is Little Red Riding Hood from the Signature set from The Greeting Farm (this red rubber set is so old, it doesn't even have a date on it - LOL - I would guess it's from 2008 or 2009?). I colored her with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional dots.

I've got another card from the August release of A Colorful Life Designs for today - make sure you use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Tic Tac Toe #277 (I used school theme/free/ink blending or could also be red/stencil/rectangle shape!)

Stencil Fun - Anything Goes/Optional Trees and/or Leaves

As You Like It - Favorite Season and Why (I love Fall for so many reasons - but the kids going back to school is one of them! Hubby and I enjoy Fall camping trips when the campgrounds are quieter and we can just relax!)

Alphabet Challenge - I is for Ink Blending

Cupcake Inspirations #624- Back to School


I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Inks through my Bauhaus Circle Mask stencil on a piece of designer paper (My Mind's Eye). I then simply used papers from the same pack to add embellishments and die cuts to the card - I added some back-to-school brads (apple, crayon, glasses) from my stash to finish it off. Peace.

  12. Little Red Riding Hood looks great and I'd forgotten she went into the woods bearing a basket of goodies. All the variations of gingham work well with her cloak. Thanks for sharing with us at As You See It.
