Hello there! Today I’m joining in a very special birthday hop for Lawn Fawn. I just love the Lawn Fawn images. They always make me smile, and Kelly has a heart of gold, too. She has the best taste in cozy sweaters from Target that we both wear on a daily basis like a security blanket…she’s my kinda girl.
I combined three sets on this card: Critters in the Arctic, Year Two & Year Four. I tried Betsy Veldman’s ink smooshing technique for my background. It’s a little different than what I’ve been doing, and I really love it. Betsy is a genius. End of story.
After ink smooshing the background, I stamped the images on a separate piece of cardstock, colored them with Copics and paper pieced them onto the card. Speaking of coloring, have ya’ll checked out my dear friend, Kathy Racoosin’s 30 Day Color Challenge? So many great tutorials and prizes happening on her blog and lots of excitement happening over on Instagram, too. Just search #thedailymarker30day and you’ll see what I mean. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Lawn Fawn!
Your next stop on the hop is the lovely Cheiron Brandon.
Thanks so much for hopping by!
