Cards for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge

I can never have enough cards for teachers. Between my two kids' teachers and the many teachers I work with, I often have a need for a card to thank a teacher. These cards will likely be used to welcome the new teachers to the department I work with. 

I was really inspired by the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge: using die cuts for water-coloring. Once I made one card, I couldn't stop. So much fun!

One glitch I ran into is that the die cuts left adhesive on the final product. I used the temporary spray adhesive. I don't know if I used too much adhesive or what. I think it will be okay, but I definitely have to store these in a closed space so that dust doesn't start to stick to the remaining adhesive and make the cards look dirty.
