Thank You Teacher

The sketch this week from Clean and Simple:

For my card I broke into some new October Afternoon Report Card Papers and incorporated the JUGS challenge - chalkboard technique.  I took it literally and made a teacher thank you (which allowed me to use my PTI stamp set that I love and don't use enough - Teacher's Apple).  It was also a good challenge as I certainly never use my chalks anymore so thank you JUGS!

  4. Wonderful card Laurel! How did you make the apples look so dimensional? It almost looks like they were done with clay? But then, how could you stamp over them so perfectly?
