New School Year

There are alot of New Beginnings challenges around at the moment.  I decided to make a New School Year card as in New Zealand our school year starts end of January/beginning of February....

My card is for the following challenges:
Meljens Designs - New Beginning

Totally Papercrafts - Something New

The card uses some new cardstock from a paper pad by DCWV called Lemon Flower Matstack.  I bought this as a chrissy pressie for myself from money I had saved up.  It also has some gorgeous lemon, silver and black cardstock in the stack which I'm looking forward to using.

Back to the card, the image is one from Meljens Designs Studio and the sentiment is from Digital Doodling.  All the image, sentiment and matting die-cutting is using Spellbinders ovals dies.

The ric-rac braid that I have used comes from American Crafts and the brad is one I have had for a couple of years.  The left hand side of the card has been inked with a Distress Ink Pad - Old Paper.

I don't know if it can be picked up from the photo but the owl has nice sparkly eyes courtesy of some Glossy Accents.
