It's been not too bad a day today, dry and almost Springlike!
It was with much sadness that I made today's offering. Iona's teacher left on Friday to take up a temporary post as Acting Head Teacher at another Primary School. She really is a super teacher and we wish her luck in her new post but she will be missed! As she is a crafter herself I wanted to make her a card to wish her well. Iona and I also gave her some Art Journalling goodies as she is taking part in a workshop soon.
The stamp I've used is appropriately called New Heights. I've had it in my stash for a while thinking it would be a good one for using at the end of the school year. I've coloured it with Promarkers and mat it on to a die cut circle inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The sentiment is by LOTV and it has also been inked, it is layered on to a Spellbinders lacey circle die cut. The paper is a Portobello Road 12x12 cut down and as time was short I've kept the embellies simple with x-cut die cut stars and some pearls.
In other news I'm happy to report that my workplace raised over £210 for British Heart Foundation at our Rock Up In Red Day on Thursday. I'm amazed we made that much. We all paid £1 to wear something red and as well as my cards we had a cake stall, second hand books, bric a brac, guess the bear's name, etc.
Bye for now,

Well done of raising so much dosh, but your cards would sell as they are always so lovely, of course folk would want to buy them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card and I'm sure iona's teacher will love it. Enjoy your weekend, kate x
A fabulous card for a sad occasion - I know I'd be gutted if my girls teacher left - its so important to get a good one isn't it? Well done on your fundraiser too Shona - that's really fantastic news xx
