How to make this card:

I recycled a watercolor painting I no longer liked and diecut a panel from the backside of it. I stamped the beautiful flowers from using distress ink that when I came in whith the watercolor blends in which I think is quite beautiful instead of the hard edges a waterproof ink would create.

More inspiration for 143 Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Show us Where You Live: feature something unique to your city, state or country

  Hi Everyone!


I'm here to share some inspiration for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This time our theme is  Show us Where You Live: feature something unique to your city, state or country. I am Swedish and I think Lappland with the Sami people, the nordic light and the vast plains, the mountains and the reindeer are unique .

I started by making my cardbase and then masked it and stamped and inked the mountain scene. I then diecut a panel that I diecut a window from and adhered to the card using foam adhesive. I used the sweet fox and sweather from cover the front with a panel diecut from UGLY AND BRIGHT  to create my Sami-character.

I then diecut and colored the letters for SWEDEN and adhered them to the bottom center of the card.
