so stinkin' cute!

hello and happy day!
today I have a sweet card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about hearts and a beautiful inspiration board! and I was inspired by the top left photo of the tree bark and bright red heart!

so cute!!
I haven't had the chance to use those cute skunks in a while, and I couldn't wait to create with them! I stamped and colored the images from Scent with Love and Scent with Love Add-on using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once the images were dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the background, I used the Paper Bag Cardstock with the Birch Tree Stencils. I used Distress Inks in Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber to ink blend the tone on tone 'forest'.
I used the Stitched Hillside Borders in white cardstock to create the snowy ground for this fun Valentine's Day celebration!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some Guava cardstock and then used Distress Inks in Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry to add a little hint of shading. the skunks were all popped up with foam tape, as was the sentiment banner!

for the background, I started by using Distress Paints in Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold. I blended them all on a piece of white cardstock. once it was dry, I spread some glitter and star glitter on top randomly. and then, once that was dry, I used the Stitched Sentiment Banners to die cut out as much of the background as I could. so FUN!

then I placed my little gaggle of mushrooms around the banners! they're all so cute! the sentiment was heat embossed in black onto vellum and then die cut with the same
Stitched Sentiment Banners.

I heat embossed the sentiment in black from the Gleeful Gardens set onto Vellum.

I haven't made a shaker card in a while and I had a ton of fun making this one!
I started by die cutting out the hearts frame in white cardstock. I used some of the hearts that were die cut out and added them to the border to bring even more love-hearts on the card! 
I then die cut out the word 'love' that comes with the die set in 4 shades of pink cardstock and put that inside the shaker!
