Lawnscaping Challenge #136 - That's So Punny!

so excited! it's a Lawnscaping Challenge! it's a new week! what's not to love about today?

oh puns...there's not much i love more in this world than a good pun!! so this challenge makes me HAPPY!! ha ha!!

Lawn Fawn has a bunch of puns in their stamp sets, and i LOVE them all! but i decided to make my own with my all time favorite letter stamp set, Harold's ABC's.

i love it!!
ha ha!! it serioulsy made this song stuck in my head (well just the chorus really, it's all i know! ha!) 
i used the cute little ice cream cones from Here's the Scoop and watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers!  i fussy cut them out and then popped them up!

the background was made by scribbling some of the light, cool grey onto a piece of old sticker packaging, spritzing with water and pressing onto my card front! once it was dry, i used a small diaganol striped stencil and colore in the lines with the same marker! so easy and fun!

this week we're sponsored by lawn fawn! so get your card making on, and you could win a stamp set of your choice! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #135 - Pattern-palooza!

well, It's time for a new Lawnscaping Challenge!! :) 
and it's time for a new month! and people - IT'S AUGUST!! i seriously can't believe it's already August...

anywho - let's focus on the good! 
the new Lawnscaping Challenge is all about patterns!! making your own patterns, using patterned paper, anything with patterns!! :)

i went a bit abstract with some of my patterns, but stick with me! :)

eeeek! i love it!
i watercolored the flamingos from Flamingo Together with Distress Markers! and once they were dry, i stamped the triangles from Sharp Backdrops on top of them!! LOVE that!! 

next, i added some watercolor in Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers). LOVE all of those tropical colors together! :)
i added the woodgrain pattern from Woodgrain Backdrops to the water to look like waves, and the stars to the sky from Starry Backdrops! 

i heat embossed the sentiment with white on black cardstock, and then added a strop of black and white patterned washi to the side! 

so that's my project! are you ready to play along?

this week we're sponsored by a brand new sponser for the Lawnscaping Challenge - Ellen Hutson! so get your card making on, and you could win a $25 gift certificate! hello!! :)
