Copy Your Favorite Designer.....{TKJ}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!
It is time for a new challenge over at
And this week the challenge is:
Copy Your Favorite Designer
I want to start off by saying I have a whole bunch of favorite designers....People who I am inspired by on a daily basis, whether it is their crafting style, amazing sense of color or their incredible talents based on all those wonderful sketches out there!
But for my card today I chose to copy the very talented 
Lesley Croghan from Always Playing with Paper
And the card I copied is from a post she did for Seize the Birthday and Color Throwdown 
which you can see HERE
I went with the card LO from Lesley's design and made it into a Back to School card.
Here it is....
I started my card by using a piece of Light Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock as my card base and then adding a mat of Flute Corrugated Kraft Paper. Next I layered some Blackboard Stock Paper and an image that I colored  in the Silhouette Studio
 (sorry I am not sure where the image is from...if you know PLEASE let me know so I can give the designer the proper credit...it was an image that was sent to me without the name). Before adding my image to the card, I used my punch to add a notebook border, my Ink Blending Tool to add some white ink as well as my sewing machine to add the stitch marks (without the thread as you can see).
Then to finish my card off, I die cut an oval piece of Blackboard Stock Paper and well as a smaller white piece so I could stamp my sentiment from Jaded Blossom's~ School Rules stamp set. Again I added more white inking around the image using my Ink Blending Tool

So there you have it....
my inspiration for this week's challenge.
I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!
As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!
