A big congrats to Jennifer! Her gallery is full of inspiration and I picked her Celebrate the 4th to case. I kept the layout and pinwheel (love making those!), but I used different images, slightly different colors and used another image in place of 2 of the buttons.
white embossed the polka dot background on the kraft card stock and stamped the teacher tools on another piece. I colored them w/ a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers before cutting them out. The pinwheel (tutorial HERE
) was made w/ a 2.25 square of the brilliant blue c/s and I added the piercing above and below just like Jennifer's card. I think piercing looks great and I don't know why I usually forget to do it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Congrats again, Jennifer! Enjoy your week!
Thanks so much for looking! It's on my blog along w/ links to the tutorial: The Write Stuff

LOVE your fabulous pinwheel card! That sentiment you used is so wonderful!!! Love your stacked books, apple and pencils...which you colored so beautifully!!! So creative how you have a little transparency to the hearts, which reflects how they are open Awesome card that any teacher would feel so honored to have!

Julie, they surely do! Our daughter-in-law is a teacher - Miss Rachel (isn't that sweet). A beautiful card today, with a wonderful sentiment to match. I learn something new each time I see one of your lovely cards.
