Retro Sketches | RS211

It's time for a NEW sketch over at Retro Sketches!!  

For Today's sketch I was inspired to create a Teacher Appreciation card using a bunch of goodies from my stash.  My son only has 7 more weeks of school before summer break begins.  This school year went by too fast...especially since he will be graduating next year!!  Not sure how that happened so FAST!!

 Supplies:

Paper: White CS (Recollections), Black CS (Recollections), Green CS (DCWV), Brown CS (DCWV), Reds Necessities 6x6 Pad (My Minds Eye), Oh What Fun 6x6 Pad (Heidi Swapp); Stamps: Many Thanks (Altenew); Ink: VersaMark, Crushed Olive Distress Ink (Tim Holtz/Ranger); Tools: All Apples (Confetti Cuts), Teacher Word Die (Lil' Inker Designs, Fishtail Flags Stax (Die-Namics), Mini Distress Tool, Embossing Heat Tool, Scor-Buddy, Paper Trimmer (Fiskars), Big Shot (Sizzix); Other: Twine, White Embossing Powder (Hero Arts,Glue Pen (Zig), ATG Tape, Foam Tape
