One card-3 challenges....

Hello everyone,

Here I am again with another project...Luckily I was off today due to a holiday which gave me extra time to make a card :)

I created a card that I am entering into Artisant Challenge, The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #234 "Reading" and Crafty Cardmakers and more challenge #122 ‘Make an Impression’ (DRY embossing) I found out about Crafty Cardmakers blog from an amazing cardmaker Pamellia


And here is what I created:


I incorporated the sketch from Artisant, reading theme from The Shabby Tea Room and Embossing elements required for Crafty Cardmakers.


I found this pictorial alphabet image in one of the Tim Holtz stacks, as well as Perfect Attendance Certificate and Language Lessons book cover which in my opinion fit just right the Reading theme of The Shabby Tea Room.


I used Darice "notes" embossing folder to create the Notes page from a notebook, and The Paper Studio "script" embossing folder for the banner.


Almost every piece of cardstock on this card has distressed edges that were inked with Antique Linen distress ink and a touch of black ink...

Here is the sketch from Artisant that I used to create this card:


I hope you enjoyed this post...
Thank you so very much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
