Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Back to School


It's time for another new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this week we have another great sponsor, Crafts U Love. Our theme this week is "Back to School", before you enter the challenge, have a look at my teammates wonderful cards and see if you can spot the "triplets"!
I used the cute schoolboy stamp by Lili of the Valley and coloured him in in my favourite copics. I kept this card very CAS, die cutting some tattered lace pin dot rectangles (they may have been added with foam tape...) and the sentiment I think was also a tattered lace die. I finished the card off with some ivory nuvo drops. I have to say that I like the tonic nuvo drops, I used cosmic shimmers coloured dimensional PVA in the past, but found that they seemed to dry with a slightly tacky surface that could stick to the back of another card if any pressure was on them, whereas the nuvo drops seem not to have the stickiness. Have you found any differences? You could always try both out on your entry in our challenge!

  1. Aaaw what a cute image Cara and you have coloured him beautifully. I love how you built up the tilted layers too. I have recently bought some Nuvo Drops but have yet to try them but they look perfect here!

  7. Awww wee cutie, I always think it's hilarious seeing the kids back to school in their uniforms that they'll grow in to ;) I haven't tried nuvo drops, but they look fab.
