Crazy 4 Challenges - Back to School

Since this is the last Saturday of the month, so comes my end to being host of the Crazy 4 Challenges.  The theme is "Back to School" - all the summer fun has come to an end for teachers and students.  Let's make a card to help cheer someone up, any cheerful theme or image will do.

If this sentiment doesn't cheer you up with laughter, I don't know what will.  I used one of my favorite stamp sets again called Five for All.  Stampin' Up! has brought back Glossy Cardstock to their catalog, so I made this gradient background by swiping Tempting Turquoise, Pekaboo Peach, and Emerald Envy Classic Ink across the cardstock.  After I swiped the ink across, I spritzed it with water a few times.  I then used a towel to dab off the excess water and create a fun texture too.  For some quick color, I added a bit of washi tape and a stamp with a cake.

 For the inside, I followed the same styling as the front with a Stitched Rectangle and some washi tape.

Happy Stampin', 
Raquel
