Starting School House Mouse

I used to LOVE going to school and the start of the school year was always a celebration. In a few weeks one of my god daughters will start Kindergarten. It's a big day for all of us as she's the oldest of 3 children. I wanted to play in the Back to School challenges out there but don't have any 'true school' stamps. I got a bit creative and made this card to symbolize how my sweet girl is about to 'fly' into a new adventure. (Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites and feel free to join in the fun).

Sketch Inspiration ~ Sketch & Stash #17 Use the sketch and something new from your stash. I just got this GREAT Basic Grey paper stack last week. So excited to cut it up!

Color Inspiration Basic Grey #2 ~ Color Challenge

Inspiration House Mouse & Friends #49 ~ Back to School TCP Tuesday ~ Back to School Belli Challenge #72 ~ Water Based Markers 365 Cards Day 172 ~ ABC’s & 123’s The hardest challenge was the coloring! I've become very dependent on my COPICS and it felt weird to hold mu SU markers again.
