i know, that's a crazy sentence for a monday. but come on, there's a new Lawnscaping Challenge! and this is a really FUN one! ha! i LOVE it!
that's right! pull out all of your dimensional stops...we're talking foam tape, paper layers, texture, make us want to touch your project! ha!
like i said, i had FUN with this challenge...i think you'll agree:

he he he!! (see? fun is even in the sentiment!)
i stamped and cut out the swing, bird and posts 5 times. 5 TIMES. it was the first time i had used Let's Play...and boy, did i use it!
side note - this card would have been a breeze to create, if i had the dies. sigh.
anywho, then i colored a layer and adhereed them all together to make it nice and thick!
i think you can see, i also cut out the base of the card so that that cute little birdie could actually swing!

yes! i used actual thread to connect the swing to the rest of the set!
the grass was punched with vellum and then i added some shabby shutters distress ink to one and mowed lawn (because "lawn" is SO perfect for this card for a multitude of reasons!) on the other layer of grass. i heat embossed the sentiment!
oh, and that yellow - that's some awesome watercoloring. it was actually slightly painful to cut up. i really liked how it came out.
oh well!
so that's my card! are you ready to play along?
