Hello! Kristina here. :)
Did you have a chance to check out the September Card Kit? Lots of fun, bright colors--perfect for a teacher card, wouldn't you say? :)
For this card, I created the sentiment by writing on the mini chalkboard from the kit with a white gel pen. If you do this, make sure to write very slowly and allow the white ink to gently come out of the pen. I noticed that if I tried to write too quickly that the pen would skip over the rough surface of the chalkboard. Just a tip. :)
I also created a "quilt block" using the patterned paper in the kit. This is a super easy technique (just cutting squares and triangles) that has an awesome effect since it shows eight different patterned papers. It's also a great way to use up bit and pieces of paper you might have leftover from a previous card you made.

ReplyDeleteLove this card. That chalkboard is great. I did not know the gel pens would write on it. Thanks for the tip. I always learn so much from you.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love how you put the triangles on the squares, I would have been struggling to match up a bunch of triangles. This is much easier. TFS!
