The Queen's Scene: Hello Teacher

Wednesday, August 30, 2017

Happy Wednesday! I'm hosting the new Color Throwdown Challenge that starts today and I've chosen a few primary colors which I thought would be fun to create with since it's back to school time.

Using the colors I picked for our challenge, I decided to create a few tags to wrap up some goodies for my youngest son's teachers for the first day of school. I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Thanks a Bushel along with the Thanks a Bushel Lawn Cuts. I started out by die cutting two Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tags and blending on some mustard seed distress ink in the centers. Next I added the grass which I die cut using the Grassy Hillside Borders die and I stamped my sentiment. The sentiment was stamped from two different stamp sets, I used the word teacher from the Thanks a Bushel set and the hello from the Elphie Selfie set. After that, I had stamped all of my images and colored them with Copic markers and I adhered the bushel of apples and a single apple to my tag using foam tape. I also die cut a smaller tag from the Lawn Fawn Tiny Tags dies and stamped the to and from from the Tiny Tag Sayings: Birthday set and attached one of the apples I had stamped, die cut and colored along the edge then tied them both together with black and white bakers twine.
