Hello Crafters!
I hope you're having an amazing weekend!
Our weather here is supposed to be sun shining for the rest of the week and I'm super excited to have a few days off.
I mean off from real job not off from the other two.
Because why would I want an entire weekend off of everything right?
haha.
I was doing a quick swoop through Youtube and I realized I never actually posted these cards here. I originally shared it on the Neat & Tangled Blog and apparently I never got around to sharing it here.
My Bad.

My peanut butter graduated from preschool to kindergarten last week and I wanted to send his teachers a little thank you. He has two teachers in his classroom and I wanted there cards to be similar.
I was able to create two cards pretty quickly combining a few different sets and some quick copic coloring.
Also any excuse to practice different skin tones is a good one :)
I did really simple two color blends for these guys since I had so many elements going on.
Once I was done coloring I used their coordinating dies to cut them out and then popped them up over a super simple ink blending border.
You can watch both cards come together and hear my own teacher thoughts in the video below
It's totally okay to adjust your coloring based on your project. For this once super detailed coloring just wasn't necessary. Not only does that mean I'm moving faster but it keeps the color palette to a minimum.
Thanks do much for stopping by!

Thank you for being awesome, Kelly. You share so many wonderful creations on your blog. It's always so inspiring. This time in "peanut butter's" life is special for both of you--enjoy it as I'm sure the teachers will enjoy these cards. tfs
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Kelly and I think you are awesome to! And most teachers deserve a pat on the back because of what they do! Thanks for an other card and lovely story, you where so brave and deserve also a pat on the back!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. So long ago my grandkids were that age!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are darling I love the primary colors and cuteness of these cards. I am sorry you had early school issues. I know I did too. I was asked to get up in front of the class to read. I thought I was going to throw up, pass out and pee my pants. The teacher was encouraging me and then it got worse and the kids started to laugh then the teacher did too. I have so much anxiety and am not an outgoing person. I am a loner. I have few friends because I am so introverted. I know it's because I think people will laugh at me.. Heck I am 70 yrs. old and still effected. I feel your feelings. Hugs
