Lawnscaping #57: Bling It!

Hi All,

I got a chance to play again with the Lawnscaping Challenge this week.  The challenge: to bling it!

I managed to create a graduation card with some bling on it.

I used Gina K. Designs Dark Chocolate card stock for the card base.  The patterned paper comes from Use ‘Em For Anything Dots & Stripes from Hot Off the Press.

The owl comes from Critters in the Forest from Lawn Fawn.  I used the new coordinating dies to cut him out.  I have to say, I absolutely love these dies.  To color him in I used my new set of Prismacolor pencils.  My friends at work gave me a gift card to AC Moore and I had a coupon.  So I was able to get a nice 72 pencil set for very very cheap.  The graduation hat comes from the Hats Off to You set from Lawn Fawn. I colored it in with copics and added the gold stickles for the bling part of the challenge.  The sentiment also comes from the same stamp set.  Finally, I added the two large brown brads.  I cut the legs out and struggled a bit to figure out how to glue them to the card stock.  I used glue dots for one and glossy accents for the other.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Thanks for stopping by!
