let's get lost together interactive card

hi there!

today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!!
I also made a video for this card, you can check it out on my youtube channel here!

my card today is interactive! I used the really fun, and really easy to use, Let's Toast Pull Tab Add-on die set!

so fun!!
I love combining these two together! to me, it looks like they're really driving down the road...or better yet, backing up down the road since they made a mistake and got 'lost'! lol!! I crack myself up!

I stamped and colored the images from Car Critters and Plane and Simple with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! 
once they were all dry and done, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

then I used the Stitched Hillside Borders die set out of some white cardstock and started to do some ink blending! 
I used some printer paper to mask off the road, and used Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo to ink blend. then I splattered some water and ink to mimic the dirt clumps on a dirt road! 
for the grass, I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.

I ink blended the sky in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks and then die cut out the tab to create the pull tab!
