Back To School

I have kept this card very CAS as I wanted it to look like a sketchbook with the spirals at the top.

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Things with Wings
http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/things-with-wings.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  I thought this looked like a spiral bound sketchbook.  The image is from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and is coloured with copic markers C5, C7, E08, E04, YR23, E41, BV08.  The sentiment is from Hudson Holidays.  I inked both the sentiment and the image with Distress Ink - Black Soot.  The book is cut using a die from Lea'bilities and the foil sealing lid of an Aunt Betty's Pudding. 

Fly

Fly by April Lavigne is the theme song for the Special World Games to be held in Los Angeles in July this year.  I have been working as a volunteer with a Special Needs ahtlete who is attending these games.  He also likes hot air balloons so this image was appropriate in two ways!  I am so proud of how hard he has worked over the past 8 months in preparation for these Games.
