Back to School Forest scene

Please click here for Tip Thursday 9/10 Color Tags & Dry Embossing. Please visit during Sept for new Tip Thursdays.
 
Decided to think outside the box or should I say outside in the forest for this Back to School creation. The students and teachers are keeping their social distance. Did not mask them up. The students are sitting on mushrooms at the tree stump desk. Here schools are virtual & in person and some have both choices. My daughter has been out of school; she completed her Master's degree 3 yrs ago.

Supplies
cardstock/paper: brown, chalk black (Easel center), 
  Kraft, white  
  pattern - brown that is tree stump
chalk: white (calligraphy write Back to School on Easel)
Crayola: pencil colors
ink: CTMH Toffee, VersaFine Onyx Black 
recycle: cardboard - used for sturdiness
