Today, I am showing you 2 more teacher-themed cards I made this past weekend.
These apple are very fun to paper piece because the image is very smooth and easy to cut out. I thought it would be fun to have apples patterned with unconventional pattern types: pencils, scan-tron and ledger.
Again, I colored the black and white ruffled ribbon with my E50 Copic marker (RIP) to make the ribbon black and ivory instead. Again, the design is pretty simple and clean (with the exception of the "skirt", but I am attempting to make some cards that would be fitting for a male or female teacher.
The inside was finished off with a simple sentiment:
Stamps: PTI Teacher's Apple
Ink: PTI black, chamomile distressing ink PTI
Paper: ivory PTI, black PTI, Cosmo Cricket The Boyfriend
Accessories: black brads, red line dimensionals, ruffled ribbon, Copic markers

The next card is pretty simple and mostly focuses on the super cute pencil patterned paper (LOVE that stuff):
I finished off the inside with some super-simple stamping and a simple strip of patterned paper:
One fun thing to mention about this card is the yellow ribbon. It wasn't *quite* the right color. It was a little on the bright, sunny color side and I needed it to be a little muted like the pencils. The theme of the weekend was using my Copic markers on ribbon, so I decided to color the yellow ribbon with my E51 Copic marker to mute it a little and it worked perfectly. The ribbon became the same exact color as the patterned paper. Success!!! :)
Stamps: PTI Teacher's Apple
Ink: PTI black, saffron
Paper: PTI ivory, PTI black, Cosmo Cricket The Boyfriend
Accessories: red line dimensionals, black brads, ric rac grosgrain, EK edge punch, Copic markers

ReplyDeleteOh what lucky teachers....I love the apples and have done this as a theme before but you have used the paper really well to bring them to life. Also love the ribbon! I have used black and white gingham for some christmas cards...it's so versatile.
