This is my take:




How to make this card:

I started by making a cardbase from dark brown cardstock and then diecutting an off white panel that I inked using distress ink and stencils. I spattered some water and gold watercolor and let it dry. When I was done, I decorated my panel with TH washi tape and a lable sticker. Last I diecut the beautiful Beautiful word in gold and cream cardstock.

Karin's Lawn Fawnatics Challenge inspiration for: Let's Celebrate! Cards to celebrate happy occasions!

Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share another card as inspiration for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge

This time our challenge is called: Let's Celebrate!   and this is my take: I made a card to celebrate your Valentine's Birthday!






For my first card I started by making a cardbase and diecutting a panel from white cardstock. I then masked the edges of my panel and stamped and masked and stamped the little mice scene. I removed my masking and colored the sweet mice decorating the tree. After I was done I diecut a slightly smaller panel that I scored using my scoring board to create "wood paneling" (-: I then cot the window and cut out the center of my wood panle so one could look through the window to see the little scen I had created. 
The second card was done the same way, only I didn't add the top panel and window! I am in LOVE with these mice - I hope you are too (-: 

Also make sure to pop over to the Lawn Fawnatics blog to check the current challenge and for lots of wonderful inspiration from my talented teamies and for all the info you need to play along!  By entering a card in the challenge you have the chance of winning a 50 $ gift card to the Lawn Fawn Store !
