This set is called school supplies and as you might guess it contains multiple images we all associate with elementary school; the crayons, the pencils, the paint box and brushes. I liked the paintbox image because it just reminds me so much of those early years. Did anyone else have one that had a metal lid? I used a bit of the SU platinum ink to paint some 'shimmer' streaks on the lid of my paint tin.
And while visiting blogs this week I noticed particularly a card Becky Oehlers made using a word as a blank to highlight the paper underneath. Now we've all seen dies used as blanks before, but I also had looked at the CAS183 challenge on splitcoast and the two ideas sort of came together. I hadn't done the blanks with letters before; I like the effect though and I'll be doing it again.
One of the sentiments that comes with the school set is 'you color my world happy.' I cut up the words separately to use them with the blank that I punched out using PTI's alphabet dies.
Hope you have a fun weekend planned and thanks for looking!
