Another year...

 

Hey there!

The anniversary sale is still going strong at Purple Onion Designs, where most everything in the store is 25% OFF through September 9th. For my card today I've used a mix of old and new images by Stacey Yacula to create a cute back to school scene. Adorable Pistachio is actually a hiker from the newest Amongst the Pines collection but with his backpack I could totally see him walking to his first day of school. The big tree is also from the newest release but I did some altering by not inking up the little tire swinging mouse that is originally on it. For the background I stamped the older Stone Wall and Church images. Again I did a bit of altering by wiping the ink away from the stained glass window at the front of the church so that I could color it as a little red school house instead. The sentiment is from The Great Outdoors Sentiment set and by using red ink on it, I created a nice visual triangle between the school, the backpack and the sentiment that is visually appealing. :)

Laters!
