The design team were given the specification of back to school. My boy goes to High School in September, he has missed out on so much of his last year at Primary School due to COVID-19 but he makes me so proud, the way he has taken all the upheaval in his stride. We collected his new school uniform today and he finally talked to me about his fears for September. I instantly knew what I could create and I have made this with him in mind for his first day. 

There is a video on my YouTube Channel Mrs H's Crafty Corner

Onto the green polka dot paper from Winnie sugar sprinkles paper heaven 2 bundle I printed 4 chemistry bottles from the science-maths-teacher-professor-geek-student-chemistry-bundle and coloured these. These were mounted onto dark blue paper

The star paper from Ruth Supermum Collection was printed out meassuring 6 Inch by 4 Inch

A piece of mint green paper was cut to 6 1/2 Inch by 4 1/2 Inch and a piece of red was cut to 5 inch by 7 inch. The card base itself is pale blue and was cut to 7.5 by 11. The papers were mounted on top of each other
