Another quick card for a challenge. I just discovered the Daring Cardmakers Challenge Blog http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/and their theme is School. As I had saved a couple of Cracker Gifts (the protractor, and mini book) I thought they would make ideal embellishments for this challenge. I made the mini pencil from a cut down kebab stick. The pages were actually from an invoice book (I needed narrower lines than ordinary paper). I distressed the graph paper and card with ink spots....to do this I pierced a fountain pen cartridge.....it wasn't just the paper that was distressed....I ended up wearing quite a bit of it too!!!!!!
My inspiration came from my own school days, I spent a lot of time and ink writing lines and I had a talent for messy school books. I dedicate this card to my friend Tracey (soon be 46 Tracey oops did I let your age slip!!), we have known each other all our lives (that included school days!). Early Happy Birthday Tracey .....don't worry I'll catch you up soon.
