A FUN CARD FOR 'BACK TO SCHOOL'

The Sunday CAS Challenge at The Outlawz today is to create a school-related card and this is what I made:

 

To start off, I framed a piece of black cardstock with grey textured cardstock, leaving a wider border at the bottom to create the backboard ledge. I used a white gel pen to scribble on the blackboard to make it look a little more real.

To make the pencils I used toothpicks, coloured with my Copics, and made a teeny tiny little box out of maroon cardstock to stack them in.  The little slipcover of the pencil box is covered in black on white DP that resembles a colouring page. 

 The sentiment "School Life" is a puffy store bought sticker.  To finish off the card some baker's twine was used to 'tie' the whole project together.

Oh, and by the way, the hamburger is a fridge magnet, and a delicious looking fake too! LOL!

I would like to add this CAS card to the following challenges:
