ABC-123 With The Shabby Tea Room # 258

Hi Shabby Gals! 

Welcome back to another fun challenge with The Shabby Tea Room! 

This week it is ABC-123 #258. The photo inspired below is all about school. The wonderful prize this week is sponsor by The Paper Temptress. The papers are wonderful and I used 3 for my project today!

#100 Sour Apple, #100 Lemondrop, and Onyx Mica/Metallic 

My children are all adults  now but I know that the kids around here are already back to school. They start earlier here in AZ but they also get out of school in May. :)

The sunflowers were made with Cheery Lynn Designs diecut and "Lemondrop" paper. I added Gala Glitz in the centers for some extra bling. I also used some leftover pieces of black bling swirls for a shabby look . A real pencil was cut to fit the center of the card and I stamped a ruler from Donna Salazar on the "Sour Apple" paper. The Pierced Stacker #4 is also from Cheery Lynn Designs and I stamped a sentiment from Verve in white and embossed it in white embossing powder. The outline is a white signo pen. The light green patterned paper is from Prima. It was a great match to the "Sour Apple" paper. I finished it off with some black and white ribbon.

A closer view. All the papers are really smooth and silky. I really Loved the "Onyx" black! 

The fabulous photo!
