Back to School! With a Ton of Techniques!

This card was for sure a labor of love! I used so many techniques it took me hours! I am super happy with how it came out!

Thank you to Frosted Design That posted this chipboard tutorial HERE that I used on my chipboard. I used some stamps from Docerela Creations and KI Memories, heat embossed and covered with Distress Crackle Paint rock candy and walnut stain distressed ink: 

I needed a quick tag so I used the back of the packaging that some school stickers came in, I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Reinforcements, walnut stain and The Twinery Cappuccino:

Once again I dug deep into my stash and went old school with some fun alphabet paper. DCWV Spring Stack 2009
Apple cut has hoarded from a swap back in 2010. I covered it in UTEE and added Martha Stewart Snow Glitter
Recess arrow, fussy cut, sanded and inked
Book worm from April showers, used my Gypsy to hide the face
