I wanted to play in the In Style Stamps Wednesday Challenge, but the theme is Back to School and I didn't have any suitable images from In Style. Then I thought maybe I could alter the Mellie image by covering up her birthday cake with some apples and it worked!
I stamped a bunch of apples from The Greeting Farm's Wishing Tree set, colored with Copics and cut them out. I colored Mellie with Copics and then glued all the apples over the cake. It's like she has an apple for each of her new teachers!
I finished off the front with a piece of paper taken from the book and punched with the notebook paper punch, a bit of patterned paper, ribbon and a couple buttons. BTW - the notebook is about 3.25" wide and 4.5" tall.
Other challenges:
- Simon Says Stamp challenge - Anything BUT a card.
- Copic Creations Challenge - Red, Pink & Hearts
- Three Clovers Thursday Challenge - Techie Time (use a downloaded image or make a background on the computer)
