LSC # 74 Inspired By

Welcome to a new challenge over at Lawnscaping!  For the next two weeks - we are going to be inspired by other designers on the Lawnscaping Design Team.  I won't lie - I had a *really* hard time choosing just one designer to use my inspiration from - but I did it.



I chose this *CUTE* card by Elena!  I liked how you used a "image" as letters :)  So - here is what I took away from this inspiration.


This is a simple design, but has a fun feel to it.  I used one of my favorite alpha sets by Lawn Fawn - Quinn's ABC's.  I die cut letters to spell out my sentiment - minus the two "O's" for Lookin' - as you can see I used a pair of glasses from the adorable set "Clear to See" by Lawn Fawn.  I stamped my glasses in Espresso Truffle Luxe Ink because I used glitter to emboss over it - and since these inks are a pigment ink - it is a great ink to use for this.  Then, I just adhered my letters down onto my "bokah" pattern paper from Lawn Fawn's Peace Love Joy 6x6 pad.  The letters are also die cut using papers from the same pad.  Then, I adhered the green peace onto a piece of kraft card stock, and then I popped up that whole panel onto my white card base which is Bazzill Marshmallow card stock.  To finish it off - I used Wink of Stella to add just a slight shimmer to the rest of the letters.


I can't wait to see who has inspired YOU!!  Our awesome sponsor is the fantastic Lawn Fawn!  If that is not inspiration enough - I don't know what is!  * SMILE*  

See you soon!
