Lawnscaping Challenge #107 - Calling all Critters

it's monday!
it's a new month!
and it's the start of a new Lawnscaping Challenge! and this is a really FUN one! ha! (they're all fun, i know!)

yes - it's critters!! pretty much the easiest challenge with Lawn Fawn stamps! ha!

i used the adorable little penguins from Critters in the Snow! they're on they're very own summer vacation! 

here in SC, my little mann's last day of school was Friday, so we're totally ready and in full summer mode! That awesome floatie is from the Swimsuit Season set (and dude, that's on sale now!!). i added some white polka dots with my gel pen for a little fun!

that background was created with distress paints and inks! i swiped the background with my distress paints (Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon)! once that was dry,i used the same colors in the ink pads and watercolored them in the corners to sort of soften the edges and make it look more 'watery'.

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