HIMCR #370 - Back to School!

Hi Everyone!!

Oh My Goodness! I'm so super excited to be 
posting again as it has been Way too long!  
I've let life just get in the way.  Well not anymore. 
 I saw a design team call and decided I was going to apply 
and see what happens.  I didn't hear back for 
quit a long time and then, there is was, 
the e-mail saying yes, yes we'd love to have you on 
our design team!  WHAT!!  I knew it was time 
to get my paper crafting going again.  I'm trying new things in paper crafting so please bare with me.So with all that being said, here is this weeks challenge.

The sponsor is Crafty Sentiments Designs!

The giveaway is 3 images from Crafty Sentiments Designs!

Head over and see the inspiration from my teamies!!

For this weeks challenge I used the Day Dreaming

I colored it with Artist Loft Alcohol markers. (Michael's brand Copics) and cut him out.
Next I took some ink from Stampin' up ink pad, Cranberry Crisp and inked the edges and around the white paper of the card. I then stamped the sentiment, "thinking of you", onto the bottom right corner. Next I cut out the image and using dimensional dots I attached him to the white paper which was then attached to the red paper from Recollections and finally adhered with ATG to the white card base.  It's very basic and doesn't scream school theme but wouldn't it be a cute card to send a grand baby or niece or nephew maybe starting a new school year just letting them know that you are thinking about them? 

This is really my first experience coloring with alcohol markers.  I've been buying them but have yet to put them to real use. I see in the picture that I have lots of practice to be doing and I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
