Thinking Of You Today

Good Sunday to you all!  Hope everyone's weekend has been a good one!  Today, I wanted to get a little crafty time in, and pulled out some supplies that I don't use often, but still love!  I have THIS Sizzix and Hero Arts Stamp and Die set that I think is the prettiest out of all of these sets ( IMO) - and wanted to break it out as I don't use it often enough.

I also don't use my Copics all that often.  I am not a big person on coloring, but I do like to do it every now and then.  I stamped the biggest butterfly and flower images of the set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored the images using RV34, RV19, BG13, BG15, YG63, and G05.  Then, I used the coordinating Sizzix dies and die cut the images ( which is the most fun part for me!).  I, then cut down a piece of Hawaiian Shores from PTI, and scored and folded to a standard A2 size card.  I, then pulled out some wood grain patterned washi I had that is about the same color and added to my card base to give a bit of interest and pattern to my card.  My sentiment also comes from the PTI set We Go Together.  To finish off the card - I just added some glitter using my Wink Of Stella pen.

Here is a closer look at the glitter goodness -

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

LSC #49 - Happy Birthday, Lawnscaping!

Happy New Year Everyone!  I haven't posted since Christmas - so I thought I would wish everyone a happy and healthy 2013!!  It is time for another post for my favorite challenge blog, Lawnscaping.  It is time to party!!  Lawnscaping is celebrating two years - which is awesome!  I hope they have many more birthdays!!

I broke out my "Bake Me a Cake" LF set - ( which I have never used - I KNOW).  I paper-pieced  four layers of the cake with Pebbles "Sunny Side" 6 x 6 papers, and stamped two candles - because of their 2nd birthday :)  I die cut two layers using the Windows Frames Framelits from Sizziz/Stampin' Up ( I just those in the mail today and HAD to use them)  I embossed the black panel with the Honeycomb embossing folder from CuttleBug.  I wanted to give that black piece some texture. I added some yellow pom-pom trim and two bows made from some Lawn Trimmings at the top of the black panel.  The birthday sentiment came from a card stock sticker/frame set I had in my stash.  I added some washi tape to the bottom and top portion of the card ( you will see that when its laid flat)

Here is the card when its flat.

Happy Birthday Lawnscaping!!  You make it so fun to play with my Lawn Fawn stamps!!  Here's to many birthdays in the future!!

I am also going to enter this card into the first EVER Pinspired Challenge!  They are having a party too!!
