Thank you!

Hello all,

As the school year comes to a close it is time to thank all the teachers that have helped my children grow. So when I saw 'the challenge' at Always Playing with Paper I knew I was in.

Entering 'the challenge' #36
'Celebrating Teachers'

Appreciation for our teachers is something I don't do enough. I mean they have to deal with us all. Teaching takes a ton of perseverance, patience, and loads of grace. I know because I volunteer in my children s classroom three days a week in the mornings. There is no way I could do what teachers do. Hats off to them! Here is my entry.

The large sunflower, sentiment, and colored sunflower
make the eye pleasing triangle.

All the elements from this card all work todgether
to form a clean design.

The twine looks like one string but in fact it is two.

I am in L-O-V-E with this card! It almost pains me to give it away! The simplicity of the design is so out of my comfort zone but I had to push my limits and here is the result.

The gigantic sunflower started it all off. As it is very large, the light 'wild hare' color calms it down and draws it back from the larger then life sentiment. A touch of color is all this card needed from the small sunflower. Why? Because the over exaggerated sentiment needs its space to dominate. So much so I stamped some of the 'thank you' off the card. I liked the way it worked.

As for the twine it is actually two pieces of twine made to look like one. The twine wrapped around the card is adhered with a dimensional dot and the bow was tied to a die cut paper button then glued on the flower.which was then put on the dimensional dot.

Well that is all for me tonight. I hope this post finds you well and I hope to see you again.  Don' t forget to leave comments good, great, or otherwise. 

Thank you for stopping by!

All the best,

Shawna
