I've made a 'Starting School' card for DD's Goddaughter, but you could interpret this with childhood memories/nursery rhymes/fantasy stories or children's cards, it's up to you.
I stencilled an Oxide background with TH School House stencil and then used another piece to stamp my image which is from Artistic Outpost's Think and Wonder set. I've also used an inky piece of card to die cut the TH Alphabet piece, backed with some navy paper, and added a computer printed sentiment.
It's a good job this card was almost done before I went away, and now I just need to get Mr Mojo into gear and do some catching up!
Have a great day,
Avril xx
Hope you had a nice break Avril....

Those dark images and outlines really stand out amidst those colours Avril, what a lovely interpretation of Childhood. I'm sure it was adored and hope all went well with the start of a new school year.
ReplyDeleteHope Mr Mojo comes out to play soon, my head is buzzing with ideas but have no where indoor to play atm..
Have a great weekend Hugs Tracey xx
I've always loved this little pair - must ink them up again some time - and the rainbow colours here are really uplifting. Lovely card for the theme.
