Thank You Teacher

Made this flower pot card to thank my son's kindy maths teacher. The crepe flowers were die cut from Spellbinder Scallop Circle die, the small yellow paper flowers were punched using retro flower punch.

I asked my son to hold a blank A4 paper and took a picture of him. Edit the photo in photoshop to include the thanking quote for a more personalised touch.

Others: ribbon, MS Pinking Scallop punch, MFT Flourish die.

Challenges:

1. Simon Says Wednesday - thanks
2. Word Art Wednesday - anything goes
3. The Rubber Buggy - thank you card

Merry Christmas

paper: Core'dination Core Impressions Basic Grey Ornate Collection (teal), Core'dination The Chocolate Box (brown)

others: Sizzix Basic Grey Dotted Flower Ring, Sizzix Winter Words embossing folder, MS Snowflake Chain punch, bling

I cut the Core'dination paper (teal and brown) into small squares and adhered to a piece of paper before die-cut it with Spellbinder Label 4 die for the patchwork background effect. After that, I embossed the die-cut with Sizzix Dotted Flower Ring embossing folder and sanded the embossed area for some contrast.
