This is 1 of 2 blog hops/posts taking place today here on my blog. If you're looking for September Studio AE Blog Hop, please click HERE.
Today we're celebrating one of my very favorite people in the paper crafting/stamping universe.... Miss Kelly Marie of Lawn Fawn!
Happiest Birthday to one of the most generous, kind, fun and wonderful crafters I know!
Here's to hoping you have a day as amazing and fabulous as you are!
I used the adorable Critters in the Dog Park and a variety of party hats from So Much To Say, Hats Off To You and Year Two to adorn the sweet doggies and bird. :)
I airbrushed the background by die cutting the clouds from Eclips masking tape and airbrushing around them with a Copic Marker. I kept moving the clouds around and overlapping them for a soft more natural look.
I die cut a couple of scraps of green cardstock using the new Simon Says Stamp Curved Edge Craft Die and layered them at the bottom of the card for "grassy hills".
I stamped stars from the Lucky Stars Stamp Set using second and third generation stamping for the pretty dark to light effect.
Then I stamped, colored and die cut all the Lawn Fawn elements and added them to my card. :)
I finished my card with a sweet greeting inside and more star second and third generation stamping.
