School is an Open Book

I've already made two School Good Luck cards and then last night I remembered I had another to make, so this will be late (along with her brother's Birthday card as it was last week!) I think the reason why I forgot that Lucy was starting school is that I still think of her as a baby and not nearly 5!!

Anyway, I was planning on using the free open digi book image from Tiddly Inks with something else, but last moment panic over as to what to do for Lucy was over when I saw that I still had some fab papers on my table that I could use as bunting.


The papers are from Cosmo Cricket - Togetherness digi paper pack which I bought from Jessica Sprague. I cut the triangles out then layered them onto the red and white flowered paper and then added the letters with a Letraset fineliner. The bunting lines are handrawn and I had to be careful that I could fit all the letters on (I got distracted watching Dr Who!) The word Lucy has been overwritten with glossy accents for extra definition.

I coloured the digi image with Aquamarkers and added a faux stitched border around the edge of the kraft card blank.

And I've missed the post today, so it will be even later!
