A Note of Thanks

As I told you in my last post, I was recently at my local Archivers (which is 5 minutes from my house!!) and ran across a bucket of Lawn Fawn stamps that hadn't been placed on display yet.  I sifted through them and pulled out two sets that I couldn't live without.  Smitty's ABCs was the one I used yesterday, and today's set is called "Many Thanks."  I can't find where it is in the store, which makes me wonder if I should even have it yet.

I used it on two cards today for the challenge at the Lawnscaping Blog - to use distressing.  I distressed all the edges on the wood panel with Tea Dye Duo (PTI).   Click here to get the details and play along. 

Here's my first card:

Lawn Fawn Many Thanks, PTI Sending You die

First I stamped the cute image from Lawn Fawn's "Many Thanks" on Rustic Cream cardstock.  I masked the bird so that I could stamp him in red.  Then I used the Sending You die to cut out a window in the wood panel and used an exacto to cut out the window in the red base. 

Here are a few more shots:

 

 On my second card, I used the die cut from the panel above and stayed with the same color combo.

Lawn Fawn Many Thanks, PTI Leafy Vine Border, Sending You dies

I kept this one CAS.  I'm still a little torn on whether or not I like how the ink is bleeding into the wood panel.

Hmm...

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!
