Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

BACK TO SCHOOL

I created a card with a school theme using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Numbered 3D Texture Fade, Collector and Alphanumeric Theory Thinlits, Stampers Anonymous Focus Layering Stencil, Idea-ology Collector Layers, Baseboard Doll, Ephemera Memoir and Eccentric Remnant Rubs.

I sprayed Uncharted Mariner Distress Spray Stain and Distress Oxide Spray on to an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card, applied Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide ink through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Focus Layering Stencil, embossed using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Numbered 3D Texture Fade and sanded back to reveal the white core.

I added torn strips of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Typeset Collage Paper.

I trimmed and distressed Idea-ology Collector Layers and Ephemera Memoir and fixed to the panel.

I die-cut the rosette ribbon and stars using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Collector Thinlits and the word using Alphanumeric Theory Thinlits from Distress Watercolor card coloured with Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide ink. I die-cut the word 3 times more from Distress Watercolor card, layered to create dimension and sanded to reveal the white core.

I added Idea-ology Eccentric Remnant Rubs to decorate the die-cuts and ephemera.

To finish I matted the panel on to Idea-ology Black KraftStock and fixed to a white card blank.
