Inkredible Stamping

It's back to school time for most of the schools around here and that's what inspired me for this week's ColorLab color challenge!

Don't you think this would be a fabulous card to make a set of as a
teacher gift? I think my teachers out there would LOVE to send quick
little notes out in a card like this 🙂

This was the inspiration I found for this week's color challenge. As soon as I saw it I knew I not only wanted to be inspired by the colors, I wanted to be inspired by the pencil and create a pencil card.

So I stared at a pencil for a long time! 🙂 Then I pulled out my graph paper and started sketching, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in the end!!

I know you're all going to be asking – I'm working right now on converting my sketched template into a printable template for you! I'll hopefully have it up in a day or two!

(ETA: The Template is now available for purchase – click here for info)

I'm thinking I might have to play come more with this template and come up with a colored pencil card for my artist friends
