Today's CASology Cue Card is Wheels!
It's time (in Toronto, anyway) to start thinking about year-end teacher thank yous and gifts. As I went through all my stamps to see what 'wheels' I had, I came across this old Lizzie Anne Designs school bus. I decided to stamp it going off the page and coloured it with Copics. Then, I added a little 'gravel' (unknown little swirl) spraying in the air due to its quick departure.
I used a Paper Smooches Shadows long oval stamp to create the shadow under the bus and keep it from floating in space! Added a simple Paper Smooches sentiment and was amazed at how well all these different stamps worked together to create (let's face it) a very, very happy scene!
And now it's your turn to link up your wheelie great cards. The deadline is Sunday at 4:00 pm CST.

Your coloring always takes a plain image and transforms it into something almost 3-D. Love how you added the shading under the bus!!
ReplyDeleteSuper card!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
Any teacher would love this card (I'm a previous teacher, so I speak from experience.) You've managed to say so much with the partial image of the bus rolling away. It gets an A++!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cute and sums up the feeling most of us have as another school year comes to a close! Bring on the lazy summer days...if you can really call them that! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the way you stamped the image and your coloring is gorgeous!!!
This is the perfect card for a teacher! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteYou can just send that card right along to me since I'm a teacher! I love it! Your school bus is perfectly coloured!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with this the moment you put it in our gallery, excellent colouring! Now the swirl and the shadow and absolutely brilliant!
ReplyDeleteLove the coloring in the school bus.. beautiful card
ReplyDeleteI love how you stamped the image off of the paper and the shadow under the bus!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! Great coloring and love the sentiment. Fantastic as always, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteOK, now, this is SO FUN! I have a LOAD of teacher thank-you cards to get making (in the next 3 weeks, yikes....this is my favourite I've seen yet!
ReplyDelete...I can almost hear the teacher's clapping as the students leave for the summer....
ReplyDeleteFabulous job 'grounding' your bus! Isn't it amazing how something as simple as a shadow can create a scene versus just images stamped on paper?
Gorgeous job shading the colors - your Copic coloring skills are amazing! Are you using the Neena Solar Classic paper?
Perfect sentiment...which I'm sure relates to the teachers just as much (if not more) than to the kids!
awesome coloring and the concept of showing half the bus... is remarkable, it expresses continuity... basically motion brought in by the wheels :) love your idea
ReplyDeleteYou have a school bus stamp??? You never cease to amaze me, Ardy! Having it going off the edge of the card? Brillz!!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Ardyth! The last child dropped off on the last day of school, and away flies the bus. Wonderful card, and one any teacher would love to have. (or maybe all the teachers are on that bus and are headed to the nearest pub to celebrate!) Great card. Bev
ReplyDeleteI just love this card. It is so whimsical and fun. It would make a great card for my daughters' bus driver.

So cute card! Like the bus image and it colored so nicely. Like the "shadow" beneath it, as well as the swirl behind it. That is a neat addition. The sentiment is perfect for your cute card. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! :) The sentiment is perfect!
ReplyDeletethis is the perfect end of the school year card, ardyth!
ReplyDeleteI love how you stamped the school bus 'off the page'...it adds so much movement to your card! Love the shadow stamp, too and your coloring is just beautiful, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a happy card, Ardyth ... happy scene, happy colours, happy happy sentiment ... even the gravel looks happy!
