Admission to W.I.T.

Today I had my long awaited test for admission to the Wizards' Institute of Technocery to become a licensed magic user. The exam was a test of wits, requiring you to select the correct spell and successfully cast it to pass the obstacles presented. The first test was a spinning double bladed Cricut Hook. As it magically moved towards me, it started spinning faster and faster, its deadly blades singing as they cut through the air. I quickly cast a simple levitation spell to get out of the way as it passed harmlessly underneath me. Three more tests followed, each requiring me to think quickly or be killed. 

This card was created for the Just Some Lines “Anything Goes” challenge that is happening now! Simply use any Just Some Lines image to create something and you can win some Just Some Lines digis - easy!


I started this card by colouring Emo Graduate Amber using my Prismacolors. This was my first attempt at colouring “pleats” and I’m not sure how I feel about it, but it did earn me +70 pleaty exp points. After she was done, I created the “chalkboard” background inspired by my mini chalkboard at home. I used some leftover scraps from when I made this card to assemble the chalkboard. I then cut out the books using the Create-a-Critter 2 cartridge. I went a little crazy with the hot glue while adhering the paper clips...I seriously need to invest in a smaller glue gun, but I refuse to until I’ve used up all my “big glue” for the one I have. Lol....cuz I’m cheap like that.

On the inside I used the Imaginisce “U Rule” stamp. I then added the congrats from the Lawn Fawn “Sophie’s Sentiments” set. 

Things got a little out of hand again on the envelope which I attacked with the Dylusions “Bordering on the Edge” set. The alphabet border, just screamed “school” to me and I was unable to resist its charms.


This scholarly creation will be top of its class in the following challenges:

After completing the four challenges, I was admitted into the Wizards' Institute of Technocery! This would be a great asset to the Crafters Guild as we would now have another institution which could offer us assistance on our crafty quests.
