IB186 Inspired By Back to School

We are back with a new challenge over @ Inspired By Card Challenges.  This week we are playing with Back to School themes, and color.  We decided on this fun classroom design because it incorporates ART, COLOR, the classroom, books, shelving/frame, a striped rug, and a pom-pom ball trim.  So many ideas!  We thought, if you don't have a reason for a "back to school" card, you may have a reason for an Art card, book card, rainbow card, stripes/color card, etc.

For my first card, I was inspired by the theme.  I chose to make a crayon-inspired card with all those happy colors to share with a co-worker.

Happy Hello card

For my next card, I was inspired by the rainbow of bright colors and that striped rug.  I die cut a stencil and color-blended the background before masking and color-blending the scallops.

I was also inspired to create some much-needed notecards, inspired by the fun colors against the striped rug and the ball trim.

There's also the Christmas inspiration this week, and I may still find time to create with it for my much-needed Christmas stash, I just haven't YET...wink.  I know there is amazing inspiration from the team using it.

And here is the sketch this week!
