All the specific information about the sponsors and prizes can be found on the Lawnscaping home page. Everyone will have until Sunday, 12/15 at 11:59PM EST to leave comments to be eligible for a prize.So the theme was winter & this is what I created!
I started this card with the background. I first masked the edges of a 5in x 11in piece of white 100lb cardstock with some washie tape. Next I took tumbled glass distress ink and using an ink blending tool filled in the center and lower portion of the frame. Next I brought in some peacock feathers along the center and upper portion. Near the top I used a bit of faded jeans & a very tiny bit of black soot. I then lightly misted the card stock with some water & heat set.
I then scored the card evenly (just under two inches & 4 inches on each side) and made sure they lined up in the center. I added some of Lawn Fawn's adorable Critters in the Snow. I just love this set & have been using it a lot this year. I also used the sentiment from the Winter Fox mini set & the banners from Bannerific. Lastly I used some snowflake sequins. I left some space over the pengins to write a message.
