I ♥ My Teacher

     First off let me thank you all for your prayers and questions about my dad's condition.  He is still continuing to improve.  He's never had heart problems so that came totally out of left field.  They have that stabilized and now we are just working on getting his knee surgery recovery back on track.   He should probably come home tomorrow.  I really appreciate all your support.  You guys are the best!

     I have ALWAYS loved the Wryn images from Tiddly Inks, but never bought any because I was so intimidated by the hair.  Hair is my Achilles heel when it comes to coloring.  Christy had a great sale not long ago and enabler friends (you know who you are) who kept posting all these cuties pushed me over the scary cliff to give them a try.

     The current challenge at Tiddly Inks is a Back to School theme.  I've used Wryn Grow a Little Love for my card.  She's bringing her blooms to her fave teacher as the chalkboard says.  The idea to create a chalkboard for the background popped into my head out of nowhere and I'm so happy with how it turned out.  I used a couple of There She Goes Clear Stamp sets to stamp some fun chalkboard style doodles onto black paper.  I stamped some kraft with a woodgrain stamp to create the frame.  I used a MFT die to create a piece of paper and used Prisma color pencils in blue and red to create the lines.  The pencil is also from one of the TSG sets.

     Here's a close up of Wryn.
