This is my submission for the Fall CAS DT search. The theme was "Teacher's Pet" and we also had to use at least one punch.
I used my Marvy Uchida heart punch to punch the three hearts out of Gina K Pure Luxury cardstock, then colored them using R24, R27, and R29 copic markers. I swiped the blender pen a couple times for the soft highlighting and used a white gel pen for the top highlighting. The leaves were cut from Old Olive and the stems from Soft Suede. I used my Xyron to adhere them to a white rectangle bordered with black, which is foam mounted onto the Old Olive background.
The sentiment is from PTI's Vintage Picnik. I wrapped some wonderful red burlap twine that Emily (aka "stamping out") sent me around the card, then gathered it using a separate piece of twine that I pulled through the button and tied. I think we find out Tuesday night if we've made the first round--fingers crossed!

That's a blender pen? COOL! I thought the heart apples were glossy and that was light shining off of them! LOL! Love the red burlap twine too, gives your card a nice rustic feel. Good luck with the search! I hope you make it this time!!
