Make it Monday #178: Back to School Easel Card

Papertrey Ink's Erin Lincoln has challenged us this week to make an easel card, in honour of school starting this week. However, here in BC, the teachers' strike had delayed the start of school. But it will start at some point, right? So I made this card for my granddaughter, and will send it off to her once the strike is over. This card looks quite a bit like Erin's, so it's defiinitely a "Case", but her card was inspiring :)
PTI products used:
Stamps: Back to School, Teacher Tickets, Antique Alphabet
Inks: Fresh Snow, Pure Poppy, Limeade Ice, Simply Chartreuse
