I thought it would be fun to use the new School Primer set to make something that wasn't school related. A little visual word play makes for a fun design to let someone know you think the world of them.As the apple has a bit the look of an illustration from an old book, I decided to add a modern twist by using Dymo tape to complete the sentiment. The layout is a sketch for a "Clean and Simple" challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.
I discovered that artist grade pencils and OMS work beautifully on watercolour paper (this is from a big pad I bought cheaply at the Papermill some time ago - I like the texture and it's sturdy enough to stand up well as a card base).
