Lawnscaping Challenge #24, Texture.

Pin It
Well girls and boys, it's the last Lawnscaping Challenge of the year and it's all about texture! I love texture on cards and scrapbook pages. Nothing else can quite make a paper project pop more than a touch of texture.

This image from Pintrest was my inspiration for this card. After seeing this, I really wanted to make a Valentine/Love card with embroidered hearts! :) The thing I love about Valentine items is that you can use them year round. This card could easily be a Valentine, but also works for a, "Hey, I love you!" card as well. Just as long as you don't stamp Valentine anywhere on it, but use excessive amounts of hearts.

For my texture I decided to use embroidery, Grunge Paper, and foam adhesive. I also stamped hearts with Lawn Fawn's Teeny Tiny Backdrops in red ink over Fancy Pant's One Heart Love Story Paper. I think it added a wee bit of texture while still keeping the paper flat. For the Grunge Paper all I did was stamp the dog, fox and shakers on it and cut it out. Then I adhered it to the back of the regular card stock that I stamped and Copic colored for a bit of a dimension. After the glue dried I adhered the dog and fox with foam adhesives to the paper I stamped. Then glued the shakers on with regular glue to the animals. This way the shakers are still propped up a bit because of the Grunge Paper, but not with the foam adhesive because they were too small. The last thing I did was add a heart sticker that is sewn up the middle and set on a piece of foam adhesive.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope your holidays were/are merry and bright! It's amazing how time flies by so fast! I can't believe in a week's time it will be a new year already!

Inky and glittery fingers for all!
