CAS-ual Fridays - Back to School

This week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is to create a back to school themed project...

CFC68: Create a Clean And Simple Back to School project

Here's mine:

Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black and Bamboo Shoots, Hero Arts Shadow Midtones - Field Greens,  MFT - Polka Dot Greetings, Paper Smooches - Falling for You, Technique Tuesday - I Pick You

Here is my contribution...in honor of the final day of the Olympics today...

I didn't have a plain chickie to put on my Olympic podiums, so I blocked out the butterfly and net on the Chickie and Butterflies stamp, but, if interested, either of these two DeNami stamps would have saved some work -- B90 Chickie or A103 Barnyard Chick.

Here's a link to the "stamping/coloring on glitter" technique that I used to make the rings.

Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White
