Welcome back to another Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge! This time our theme is "Back to School" and it is sponsored by The Alley Way Stamps. That means the Show Stopper for this challenge will win some goodies from them :)
Here is the wonderful collage we get to work from for this challenge.
Of course, I immediately thought of Verve's Teacher's Count set, which was inspired by none other than our DT's own Maureen! So many wonderful sentiments in this set and I just love the apples and their matching dies!
For my card, I used the number image from the set to create a background on the kraft panel, and then created a blackboard, of sorts, as my focal point. Not sure I have ever seen a blackboard with a notebook edge, but I just had to add that edge in LOL! I stamped some notebook lines on the heart, and then embossed the sentiment and sponged on a bit of "chalkboard dust".
You can check out all the challenge details over on the Curtain Call Inspirations Challenge and also get a chance to view all the wonderful Curtain Call Crew samples! Should you wish more details on the Curtain Call Crew's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.

Adorable, Marisa!
AMAZING! Love the little chalkboard you created and all the fab details!
Great colors and sentiment - I totally agree that to teach is to love (when you really teach). Wonderful card. Hugz!
Love your cute card and all the Verve goodness! Love how you created a chalkboard on the notebook die cut!
Awesome challenge and fabulous inspiration! I hope I can play along today before getting every little last minute thing packed up....lol
It's going slow. Maybe if I packed rather than crafted I'd make some progress!
How super cute Marisa. I love that punch that looks like it was torn from a notebook. So sweet and perfect for a teacher.
Bear Hugs,
Carol
