Bellariffic Friday - Back to School

Aaaah, a long weekend and an interesting take on this week's Bellariffic Friday theme of "Back to School"! I don't have any Stamping Bella images that typically makes one think of school so I thought "outside the box" and made a card for all the Mums out there who are sending their children back to school. I envision them that first morning with their children back in school.....sitting quietly in their house with a nice cup of coffee or tea...and no-one clamoring for their attention,or something to do or something to eat!

I stamped Lattebella in Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured her with copics.

The layout is one of my "go to" sketches - easy and simple. I used SU Sahara Sand and So Saffron paired with a pattern paper from MME Miss Caroline Dolled Up. I layered her onto a second oval nestie and added a button bow in SU Regal Rose. The embossing folder is swiss dots - another "go to" of mine. I used a couple of Atyou Spica pens for a touch of sparkle and a tiny twinkle in her hair elastic finished her off.

Have a great long weekend!

Cheerio.....Leslie
