Scrapology July Challenge - School's Out!

A new card challenge has gone live at the Scrapology blog:-

Claire set the theme for this challenge, which was "school's out!"   I really admire some of the very inventive and innovative ideas the team have come up with, but I couldn't think of anything - my inspiration had left the building.  So I went with the idea of celebrating the summer instead. 

The background paper was part of freebie magazine papers and I love the combination of orange and aqua which screams summer to me. 


 
I stamped the banner onto white card with the orange Stampin' Up ink.  I outlined the banners with the turquoise pen.  Because the white card was quite stark, I got a paintbrush and coloured in the white parts of the banner with the Cosmic Shimmer mist, using it like paint. 
 
I used the washi tape to "ground" the journalling block. A few small flowers and gems just added the finishing touches to quite a simple card. 
 
Supplies:
Banner stamps - free stamp set Crafts Beautiful
Classic Stampin' pad - Stampin' Up ink - "Pumpkin Pie"
Cosmic Shimmer mist - Teal Wash
Kaisercraft Rhinestones
Papermania Capsule Collection Rhinestones - "Sunshine"
Fiskars Paper Shapers - "stamp" scissors
Signo Uniball Angelic Colour pen - Blue
Studio G clear stamps - sentiment
My Mind's Eye Indie Chic washi tape
Versafine ink - Deep Lagoon
 
Does this challenge inspire you to have a go?  We would love to see what you come up with!
