Now I Know My ABC's

Oh, hi!  I'm back today with a card that I created for Stamp Club.  Each month we have to create card around a specific theme.  For the month of September, the theme is School Days.  Which turned out to be a bit of a challenge because I have no school themed stamps.  Not one.

But, I knew I had card stock that resembled a chalkboard so I dug that out and designed my card around that:

There's a (quick) video too:

I stamped the dragons on 80# Neenah Solar White card stock and colored them in with Copics (colors listed below).  Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I used the Scallop A2 Honey Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps to cut the "chalkboard" and the frame.

I used the same size die for both of them.  These dies have some stitching detail which made it really easy to cut the scallops off the chalkboard so it would fit perfectly within the frame.

Now, one of the things that I didn't catch on film was how I created the "floor" of the classroom.  To do this, I used a ruler (and actually managed to draw two straight lines) to create the "baseboard."  I colored that in with E27.

For the floor, I colored the whole strip of card stock with E42 and then drew very random lines to create some texture.  I'm not sure if that's carpet or a wood floor . . . I suppose it could be either.

These are the Copics that I used:

Dragons - YG25, YG03, YG17, YR18, YR14, YR21, C3 (for the claws)
Baseboard - E27
Floor - E42, E43
Shading under the Dragons - E43

And there ya have it!  A fairly quick card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
