Back to school

It's hard to believe summer is coming to an end and that school will soon be starting!! My son is in his last semester of his senior year of college and he actually starts on Monday. All the regular schools nearby start next Monday.

This card took me FOREVER to make (LOL). I first stamped the kids and then made a mask of them so I could stamp the bus (which I stamped in Oxide Ink - Mustard Seed) directly in front of them. I could not get the bus just right or the kids just right and I had to keep starting over and over and over. I colored the kids using my Jane Davenport watercolor paints. Then, I stamped the birds. Finally, I came up with this and I love how it came out. Every year I mail a "Back to School" card to my good friend in California - she works for the school system so I always enjoy making her a different card each year.

    Such a darling card, Sherri! Love the children waiting for the bus in line. I really would love to see how their faces look like :) The yellow bus is lovely too. Thank you so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
