Just a quick post tonight. It's that time of year again when cards are needed for those hard working, long suffering teachers. I help out in school so I see all the work that goes on behind the scenes and we are lucky that we have a wonderful Primary school where all the teachers are friendly and welcoming and make you feel included. Although I only go in one day a week I still feel a part of things which is so nice.
Freya has had two class teachers this year who job share. It has worked really well and she has had a great year, there is also a classroom assistant and another lady who takes them for handwriting and reading so plenty of cards are needed.
It was a wet morning here so I got the trusty cuttlebug out and unfortunately I'm not imaginative enough to come up with different cards when they are needed quickly so I mass produced and they will all get the same.
I rubbed some chalk inks over the design, matted onto some free BP that came with a scrapbook magazine, added some organza ribbon and an artylicious greeting and hey presto they were done.

This is great. I really must try this technique with my CB folders. There is nothing wrong with mass producing a design - especially one as lovely as this.

These are lovely! I do occasionally 'mass produce', especially if the result is this pretty! I would be over the moon if I received something like this xxx
Love this big folder, but yet to get it. Like your soft colouring and know it will be appreciated - one of my daughter is a history teacher, so know how much these little gestures mean to them.

Even if you did mass produce the cards they are still really nice!

What a lovely card, Lisa. Simple but so effective. Sure to be very much appreciated by the recipients.
These are absolutely beautiful and very elegant. I think you've done a great job and the recipients will love them for sure.

This is so pretty, I love the effect that the chalk has given to the embossed areas. Such beautiful soft colours.
Hope your cold has gone now
