...where.. okay, where quite a few people have gone before... but still an exciting time.. ;)
The new challenge at One Stitch at a Time is Back to School... quite an appropriate theme given that kids in the UK will be starting back at school in a couple of weeks (or have already gone back in parts of Scotland)... and amongst them will be my DD1 who starts full-time school for the first time! Scary, but exciting, times. :)
For my card, I used the Starship stamp and paper pack by Coosty Creations:
I must admit to being a wee bit of a trekkie (I even used to have a DS9 uniform top! :lol:) so I loved working with this collection. I decided to make an easel card, the better to showcase these awesome papers.
I coloured the starship image using my Promarkers and keeping the colour scheme pretty simple... after all, Star Trek starships are pretty much all white, aren't they? :)
I printed the papers and trimmed them to fit my easel card and printed a sentiment, cut it out and attached it with foam tape. I cut out the starship and attached it using foam pads for a touch of dimension.
You don't have to use a Stitchy Bear product to enter the challenge but we'd love it if you do - and doing so will put you in the draw to win our main prize. As ever, entries not using a Stitchy Bear product will have a chance to win a $3 gift voucher to the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.

Wishing your daughter a very happy time throughout her school years. Your sentiment is both inspiring and encouraging which fits to your Trekkie passion so well. Ingrid xx
This is a perfect card for a guy or girl. My husband is a trekkie so I showed him and he loves it. Spot on sentiment!

Love this - wouldn't class myself as a Trekkie, but those words can still transport me to happy childhood days spent with Kirk, Spock and co... The giant planet is very cool, and I think the colouring on the Enterprise is pretty much spot on! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Our Creative Corner.

Wow the cleverness behind this card is perfection. Love the idea and the thinking outside of the creative box is totally genius.
