SEP12VSNF breath

Photo Details

Poster: tessaduck

For vsn challenge F, using classroom supplies on a card, hosted by Lori, LMcAree.

I used an eraser to make the color blocks on this card. Also, the blue cs is a copier mistake. Someone left blue cs in the copier's paper tray. Then someone else ran a class set of everyday math worksheets. I rescued the mistakes from the recycle bin. Can you see the scrap in front? I've stashed this cs for ages, and have used it from time to time on paper projects.

So. On this card, I used a carved eraser and rescued cs.

great job of recycling the cardstock! I hate it when I print something incorrectly. I love the soft squares of color that the eraser made.

This card reminds me of when I firs started stamping and used shadow inks and square or circle stamps to make a background. I guess a good idea never dies, huh?

Great save with the math sheets. It could be fun to use the printed side for a text challenge, too.
