Reading Kitty - Back to School

Hello, friends - I hope you are having a great day!  I created this back-to-school card for my 10-year-old niece.  I hope she likes it!

I started with a white card base and covered it with yellow cardstock.  Then I added a layer of pencil-patterned paper, to which I added four photo corners.  I coloured the cute cat image with pencils, die cut, faux-stitched around the border with purple pencil, layered onto an embossed yellow die-cut, and affixed to the card with foam tape.  I created the back-to-school sentiment with my label maker and then embellished the image with 3 punched stars.  Here are the supplies used:

• Digi stamp:  Sliekje Digi Stamps (thank you, Angelique)
• Patterned paper:  Create with TLC (thank you, Paulette)
• Cardstock:  Recollections          White Card Base:  Domtar
• Coloured pencils:  Prismacolor
• Die:  Spellbinders Labels Twelve
• Star punch:  Michaels
• Label maker:  Dymo
• Photo corners:  Dollarama
