Apple for the Teacher

Apple for the Teacher

Hi there!

It is coming up for the end of

term but not only that, it is the

end of the school year.  

I thought it might be nice to

focus on the hardworking teachers

and tutors and there's nothing like

a handmade thank you

To start us off Angela Radford is

here with us:

"Hi all, Angela here with a new card project. 

I have done my best here to make this as 

Clean and Simple as I can but 

keeping things clean is not something 

I usually do but here goes!

 I started by making Masterboards using Oxide inks.

Then cut a piece of this ready to decorate

 I used a Tim Holtz stencil Wood Grain 

to make the pattern over the inked background.

And the Splatter stencil to create a design 

on the card blank.

No need to cover all the card as most of 

the card will be covered later.

 I used some pages from old exercise books 

to build up the layers but I would not 

advise taking this out of your school books!

Next I stamped the Cat's Whiskers stamp 

on the chosen card.

Cut these out ready to layer them together.

I finished the card blank by adding more images 

from the stencils and stamping the 

Carabelle text stamp.

 A little more colour through the stencil

and we're ready to attach the focal images.

The sentiment is also part of the Cat's Whiskers 

and the die and frame stamp by Tim Holtz

 I stamped the cat images onto the card 

before mounting the main piece so that the 

whiskers will show when everythings layered on

So here we are all finished. 

Curled the corners back a little which kind 

of reminds me of school books Lol! 

Hope all the teachers out there have a great summer, 

they really are The Cat's Whiskers!"
