I seriously *love* LOVE LoVe looooooooooove Lawn Fawn stamps. I'm really picky when it comes to stamps, and Lawn Fawn has just the right mix of fun and whimsy without the creepy factor that some stamps have. (not naming names--you know who you are, creepy stamps!) Anyway, here's my first entry in the Lawnscaping challenge: Distress Mania.
For this card, I used the Just My Type stamp set, and colored the fun retro typewriter with some Copics (R20, R22, and R24), and freehanded a heart. Then I distressed the book page printed paper from Authentique's Uncommon line using Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks, and I'm really happy with how well they matched the Copics. I wanted to use the "you're just my type!" sentiment, but the words were stacked on top of one another and I needed a sentiment that was one long line. Not to worry, I just altered it by stamping it one word at a time across the paper, then distressed again with the Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar. I topped it off with a button threaded with some pink Twinery twine, and Voila! A sweet "just because" card for my hunny. I have another idea for this challenge, so here's hoping I get another chance to play around with it!
