Hey hens! Happy Tuesday to ya! So, my hairdresser asked if I could make a Christmas card for her daughter's elementary school teacher and without hesitation I said, "sure!" But then I thought, "Uhhhh, what image do I use for that?" Well, why not
"teachabella" from
Stamping Bella I thought! And I must say, I think I was RIGHT ON! Don't you? I just LOVE this card! I wish I was a teacher and then I could give it to myself! Hmmmph!
Ok, so I stamped
"teachabella" onto some of
Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with my Copics. This DP is from Fancy Pants' "Hot Chocolate" collection and it has some really pretty colors in it. I paired it with some SU Very Vanilla & Real Red CS and sponged some distress ink around the edges. I cut the image out with my Nesties and sponged the same ink around the edges of it, as well. To finish, I tied this pretty red satin ribbon into a cute bubbly bow and there ya have a card for one LUCKY CLUCKY teacher! Awwwwwk!
Now before I leave ya today, I just wanted to remind you of my
That's Krafty Thursday sketch challenge. The deadline for submission is tomorrow at 7:00pm EST. Just link your card using Mr. Linky on the bottom of my December 2nd post and YOU could be the next

Have a Tee-riffic Tuesday! {{{hen hugs}}}

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Your coloring is amazing (as it always is) and I love those dp.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous. I am sure the teacher receiving it will think so too. You did a great job coloring her and I love the papers you used. TFS.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card I love it and know the teacher will also. You are a teacher in my eye just by telling the details on you card.. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow do you do that? Your shading is spectacular. I would have been totally stumped as to how to color that blackboard. I love the papers. I love the layout. The only think I don't like about it is that I could have never come up with something so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am sure all the teachers will be fighting over this! Love how the DP blends with your layout.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is right - the card is gorgeous! The papers are perfect together and Miss Teacher looks fabulous. The red bow just ties it all together. Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Jeanie, you are killing me here. These cards are all to die for and this is beautiful and the layout is stunning! I love how you used that nestie. I never seem to know what to do with that one...but I had to have it. Thanks for my afternoon inspiration.... sigh
