CTMH Team Blog Hop - School Days

The Pineapple Paper Artists are showing off all the beautiful new paper packs, stamp sets, and embellishments of Annual Inspirations with a great new blog hop.  Whether you are just beginning your journey or you came here from Martha's blog, I hope you will continue on until you are inspired by everyone's school-themed artwork.

I decided that this month's theme, School Days, gave me the perfect opportunity to play with the chalkboard technique, as well as experiment with a couple of the lovely new ink colors in Annual Inspirations. 

• The alphabet stamps are from the A Typeface (A1117) set.  All other stamps are from the Reel Life (B1431) stamp set.
• On a White Daisy (1385) panel, I stamped the hexagon cluster with Canary (Z2643) ink.  I adhered the panel to a Black (1386) card.
• A punched a strip of Lagoon (X5762) cardstock with the Chevron Border Punch (Z1998) and adhered it to the card.
• On a Black (1386) cardstock panel, I stamped the triple arrows, the U & R, and [Epic] in White Daisy Pigment (Z2163) ink.  I drew a border with the Chalk Marker (Z1767) and added a Sparkles Chevron Shape (Z1909).
• I cut circles from White Daisy (1385) and Glacier (X5770) cardstock using the Artbooking Cricut Collection (Z1906).  On the White Daisy (1385) circle I stamped Hello Today with Glacier (Z2641) ink.  I them to the card with 3D Foam Tape (Z1151).  
• I punched small 1/4" circles from Glacier (X5770) cardstock and glued them to the card.
