As I sent my son off to school today for his end of year testing I started thinking about all you teachers out there. Not just school teachers but Sunday School, Homeschooling Parents, and tutors.. What a blessing it is to have all these people that take the time to enrich our child's lives and brains..:)
This is a card I created last fall for the Dirty Dozen. The image is a Pure Innocence image from My Favorite Things.I colored her dress with copics and added the lines with a prisma pencil to give it some contrast. I drew the apple with markers and created a button with a button kit from the fabric store.

Here is the second card I created for the Dirty Dozen. I spray painted a piece of cardboard with chalk paint and then wrote out the numbers and letters with chalk. I love this little guy. My Favorite Things has this with a girl over in their Pure Innocence section.
Thanks to all who teach. It is a big job....
These are brilliant, Dawn! Your coloring is always top notch, and the idea to spray paint with chalkboard paint is awesome. Enjoy the quietness while you still have it ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just perfect using the school theme! I love the PI line at MFT and you've highlighted them so well! I don't consider myself a teacher, but it's surprising all the times teaching is involved with nursing duties. Thanks for sharing your superb DD creations!
ReplyDeleteOh these are just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAwww Dawn these are so sweet! I love the pure innocence line! I just made one too... can't show it quite yet *wink* but yours are colored oh so perfectly! Love the little touches like the chalkboard and letters and that fabby button on the top one! I can't believe school is almost out for the summer! My DGKs are done! Looking forward to tomorrow!!!

Lovely cards Dawn, what a brilliant idea you thought of with your second card by making the backing paper as a chalk board, very clever.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about many of your teachers out there... So many parents overlook how much they enrich our children's lives in so many way.
ReplyDeleteBoth these cards would be so appreciated by any teacher I bet!
Such a precious cards Dawn.
ReplyDeleteLove the simple layout.
These are precious, Dawn. Have so many friends as teachers and love teaching Sunday School myself - a lovely tribute. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are adorable as can be- love the vibrant colors you used.
ReplyDeleteHope you come and join my de-stash swap going on now
blessings to you, Dawn ll

ReplyDeleteYour amazing Dawn! You have the bestest ideas! I love your teacher cards! I love to make teachers gifts too...I appreciate all they do!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the way you spray painted a piece of cardboard...awesome idea Dawn!
Dawn these are just beautiful. I would be a proud teacher to receive one of these. Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning! I just love the way you colored her little dress in the first one...fabulous cards!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...so so so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your DD creations. The chalk paint was brilliant. These are both super creative and just plain sweet.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which I love the most! They are both just awesome. I had forgotten all about chalk paint. I used to have some but haven't used it in years. What a perfect idea! You come up with the most creative ideas & your coloring is always perfection.
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet! And what lovely cards to use as year-end thank yous. I'm starting to make some for my kids to give their teachers now. Their last day isn't until June 22, so I still have a decent amount of time!! Thanks for the great inspiration. :)

Dawn these are so cute, I love the way you used the chalkboard paint and that dp on the card above with the lettering! I remember having to to that as a child. You are so right about teachers they deserve much appreciation! We are very blessed that there are people out there willing to do this job, I myself couldn't. LOL

ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely GORGEOUS makes! Love them both so much it makes me wish our kids were still at school! Hugs, Lesley
ReplyDeleteThey are both adorable and so creative too!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable, Dawn. I'm sure we don't stop and think about all teachers do for our children. I just don't know what we would do without them. Homeschooling would not be for me....not enough patience, unfortunately! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove both cards with the extra special touches you've added
How thoughtful of you. I'm sure any teacher receiving these would feel very special and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteMis Dawn! I love both of these! Wonderful coloring as always but really love the cursive writing practice sheet dp in the first one and the blackboard bg in the second one.. Both images are just so PRECIOUS!! 8-)
