Today is Zoey's 3rd day of kindergarten and she is loving it! I am still getting used to the new routine... and Natalie is still getting used to not having her big sister around all the time! Hopefully by next week it will be a little easier for us. :)
With school starting, I've been thinking about fall (ha! the weather here is a little behind- it's been in the 90s still!) and Halloween, too! I made this cute card over the weekend:
Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Greeting Card Kids, Tiny Tags, Paisley Party Wheel
Ink: Pear Pizazz, Rich Razzleberry, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Basic Black, Basic Grey, Blush Blossom, Blushing Bride classic inks; Jet Black Staz On
Paper: Confetti White, Rich Razzleberry, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizazz, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake cardstock; Blushing Bride textured cardstock
Accessories: Decor Elements Applicator tool, Scallop Edge punch, Jewelery Punch, Linen Thread, Aqua Painter, Blender pens
This little cutie is painted using my Blender pens and residual inks from my ink pads. I tried to use my aqua painter first and some spots were so tiny, it was much easier for me to just use the pens. I traded for my painter though in some of the larger areas.
Also, I want to point out that if you haven't used your Decor Elements Applicator tool in your card making, try it! I used it on this card to curl up the edges of my background strips. I love how soft it makes them! You could probably use your bone folder to get the same effect as well!
Well, I hope your week is going well! I am thankful mine is going by fast and that the weekend is almost here! I've got some stamping planned for Saturday night and I can't wait!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Tessa, what an ADORABLE card! I just love the paisley strips on your card. And the Blushing Bride textured cardstock is THE finishing touch on this card - LOVELY!! Enjoy your little girls - I have 3 girls and they're all grown up - my youngest is 27! The oldest two are married and my oldest has two little girls of her own now - ages 13 months and 2.5! I remember those days when one was in Kindergarten and the little one would wait eagerly all morning for her sister to come home. Sometimes the Kindergartener was just a little crabby and tired after a full morning and wasn't quite ready to play! Heehee...

This is a lovely card! Love the design and this stamp set. We're still getting use to the new kindergarten schedule at our house. It seems so different without our 5 year old with me all the time!
Your card is so cute. I just love that stamp image.
