Okay just going to pop in here with a last ditch effort to see if I can win the One Layer Card Challenge from Lawn Scaping.
Lawnscaping Challenge #63

Ever had that card that you just don't LOVE??? Well this is mine. I look at it now and see how I can take this card and create inspiration through it to create a better card. Unfortunately I'm in Australia right now and that wasn't possible. Maybe when I get back I can use it and create something much better.  This is a very cute clean and simple card but I think I could do more with it. :)  Hope you enjoy though. 

Congrats on the House

I have my second card for the LawnScaping Challenge #63.  The goal is to make it only one Layer. 

This was by FAR one of the more extensive stamping jobs I have done in a while.  I combined quite a few of my Lawn Fawn stamp sets to come up with this card.  The house is from Happy Haunting, the grass from Gnome Sweet Gnome, the tree is from Critters in the Burbs, the sidewalk is from Interlocking Backdrops, and the sentiment is from So Much to Say.  The only non Lawn Fawn stamp is the sun and it is from Hero Arts.  I thought of using the moon From Happy Haunting but it wasn't working for me. :) 

This card was super time consuming though because I had to stamp all of the images and then cut them out on scrap paper and then work on the order in which I stamped them.  After I had them ALL stamped and masked off then I used Distress Inks to create the grass and sky.  I used my Copics to color in the images. 

I would love to say that I will do more cards like this and while I love it I am not sure I have the patience to spend on a TON of these cards.  I can't wait for my next friend to buy a house because I really want to send this to them! :) 

Hope you have enjoyed and feel free to leave comments.  I love reading them! :) 

Thank You Card

Today I have a very cute card for you for the LawnScaping Challenge #63.

The goal is to create a One Layer Card which typically is not my forte. I do love Clean and Simple cards but I just tend to grab my foam dots to pop images off the page. This card I definitely think is still clean and simple yet sooooo adorable. I can definitely see making this card in bulk to give as a gift to people because it was so easy! I used the Say A Birdie Told Me and Interlocking Backdrops from Lawn Fawn as well as many of the various Thank You sentiments I have received from them when I order my stamps/dies/paper. Honestly I have to say one of the reasons I love ordering from Lawn Fawn is because of the bonus stamp you always get with your orders! That and the personal note from Kelly or one of the Lawn Fawn team.

I then used my copics to color in the Interlocking Backdrop and used a grey to outline my talk bubbles to give it some depth and viola. Now had I been able to add some dimension I think I would have popped up some of the individual hexagons and talk bubbles but I don't think it actually needs it.

Tomorrow I'm heading off to Australia for a couple weeks for work but when I get back hopefully I can create some new cards for the next Challenge. :) Part of me wants the Critters Down Under stamp set so I can commemorate my trip.  Also I'm hoping I can buy a pretty Opal ring while I'm down there.  October is my birth month so that is my birthstone and Australia has some of the prettiest Opals I have ever seen!  My last trip down under I bought my first piece of jewelry for myself which was an amazing opal necklace and I always get compliments on it. 

Hope you enjoyed and feel free to make comments.  I love reading them! :)
