I can't believe it's September already! The kids are settled in school and Fall is in the air! The pumpkins in the garden are turning orange, and my pear trees are loaded! I really love this time of year - the days are sunny and warm and the evenings are cool enough to shut the air conditioning off!
I've been working my way through these pretty month stamps from Serendipity. They are really beautiful and detailed with images for each month, and much too pretty to bring out just for a calendar project. I wanted to play up the "back to school" theme of the stamp so I used a library book background, ruler ribbon, and tucked in a little notebook paper. This would be beautiful to include with a gift for teacher, a back to school note for a child at college or maybe a September birthday! I colored the image with Copics, fussy cut it and then mounted it on a distressed die from Couture Creations. 
Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

This is gorgeous Jeanne, I love that decorative fancy frame, and the beautifully coloured label!
ReplyDeleteLove the frame and paper you used .This months theme is perfect. Another gorgeous card to add to your collection. I wish fall was in the air here. All that is in the air here now, is smoke from a nearby fire. I cannot wait for cool nights.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can't get over the bow! It must take you so long, Jeanne!
ReplyDeleteI love that book background paper...you always find the absolute perfect papers and embellishments that totally compliment your stamps. I agree with Suzanne...the bow is beautiful and so detailed with the ruler ribbon. I look forward to these cards every month!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning card! So beautiful and that paper with the books, perfect!! But I do agree with Suzanne and Cathy, that bow is fabulous. Just love this card...
ReplyDeleteYou've created the quintessential back to school card Jeanne! I love the bold primary colors you used in your coloring, the fab image itself and perfect companion-the ruler ribbon.
