Right on Target

I was really inspired by this week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World:

So, I decided to make some thank you cards for my kids' teachers. Originally, I thought I'd make 8 or so cards, but these ended up being so finicky that I stopped at three.

Here's what I did.... For the background, I stamped my WMS woodgrain stamp onto PTI soft stone cardstock, using CTMH slate ink. For my targets, I created a cut file in Silhouette and cut out eight different ones (one of each eight colours I used: hibiscus burst, hawaiian shores, limeade ice, aqua mist, orange zest, pure poppy, harvest gold (all PTI) and a Bazzill purple. While these were still on my Silhouette cutting mat, I stamped them with the WMS woodgrain stamp in soft stone. Then I cut out some white circles. On these I stamped some woodgrain images (also from my WMS set), so I could leave some "blanks" when building my targets. Then I started adhering the pieces from the outside in. I also cut out some vellum pieces to adhere over three sections of the target.

For my sentiment, I diecut some cardstock with my PTI double-ended banner die. On this, I stamped an arrow from Mama Elephant's On Target and over that, I stamped my sentiment, from PTI's Happy Trails.

Here are the two other cards, using the same techniques, but different coloured cardstock for the mat and sentiment banner.

This is definitely the most cardstock I've ever used for three cards! LOL!

Thanks for looking!
