Just a quick little card to share today. I wanted to celebrate Ellie's first week of school, so I'm planning to give her this card when I pick her up tomorrow.
I used the School Rules stamp set and my blending pen to add the color. I love the blending pen because while you can be precise, you can also be a little more organic/messy.
Ellie's favorite color is green, so I wanted to feature it prominately, but when I was taking the pictures I realized that this looks a little Christmasy. Oh well, she'll like it.
Anyway, hope that your week is going well. It's almost the weekend!
