This week I only have 3 stamp sets to work with. I'm working with very limited supplies with DH on a working vacation--he's working and I'm vacationing--LOL! I packed a small little bundle of stamping stuff and I'm having my own Limited Supply Challenges as I try to do the challenges this week. Fun!
So...this challenge really puzzled me until I remembered these Paper Tole cards I brought along to work on. They are store-bought cards by Main Street Press. Artwork is by Susan Winget. I cut them up and did paper tole to make them 3-D. The effect is enhanced by the crystal effects on the apples.
These cards represent two of my favorite childhood activities--reading and playing school! No--three--another favorite activity was paper crafting--even as a child! I will use them as thank you notes for student gifts at the end of the school year.

I love love love your cards!! They are warm hearted and loving. I remember pretending that I was a teacher when I was young. I love it. I took attendance and had math problems written out. Thanks for sharing with us. You did great especially for your limited supplies.

I gasped when I saw your card. I think it is stunning. It is still so totally art when you don't even use a single stamp nor ink but enhance someones creation. I am sure you have just made Susan Winget proud.
