Pencils - Yum!


I've had this card made for some time but never posted it, so today I'm sharing it with the House Mouse & Friends HMFMC #297 - anything goes or back to school.

When I see pencils my brain goes back to my school days, so this reminded me of school, but it's just a general-themed card. The image was colored with Copics and die cut with Lil Inker stitched rectangle dies, along with the Hello Honey and Rich Cocoa card stock. I added a slightly larger mat of the Cocoa behind the image panel and added a sentiment from SU! which I cut with a scalloped punch and matted with a punched circle.

It's an easy card to put together and when we were kids, we all chewed on our pencils all the time LOL 

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!

This is the sweetest card! I love the image!! And the tiny little circle sentiment is just right. I definitely chewed on my pencil when I was a kid too. It made it hard to find an eraser...
