Dreams….

It’s time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog and this time the challenge is…..

‘Back to School’.

This week, as always, we are sponsored by The Paper Shelter and Veronica & Pedro are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend at their site.

Challenge prize badge

If you use a TPS image in your creation you will receive the full $30 to spend on their gorgeous designs, and if you haven’t used a TPS image then you will win 3 Digis of your choice from their site.

I always find this theme a hard one as in Australia we really don’t make a fuss when it’s time to go back to school. That of course doesn’t mean us parents don’t get excited to have some ‘child free time’ and get excited just that we don’t make things for teachers or our children just because they are going back to school. However, I’m really happy with my image on my card today. I’ve used the lovely ‘She is Adorable’ image.

P1050676

My image was printed onto X-Press It Blending card and coloured with my Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are: Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20; Hair, Shoes & Bag - E47, E44, E42, E40; Clothes - BG75, BG72, BG70, YR24, YR23, YR21.

Hi Nikki, reading your comments about getting excited about children going back to School, I think the little ones starting for the first time is a big thing for mums in the UK and the older ones going onto Secondary School and College, so we like to send them on their way. (And you are so right after 6 weeks of holiday its nice to have a bit of quiet for sure)
Stunning card love that image and your card design. hugs Shirleyxx
