National Lighthouse Day - 7th August.

 Today I'm sharing a card I send to my friend, Carol, as part of our little monthly swap group.   Carol set our challenge... All things August!   Part of my freebies from the Card Maker Success Summit... list of 365 Reasons to Make a Card.... so checked out August and 7th was National Lighthouse Day!   I recently got a new stamp and die set that had a lighthouse so decided that I would make an encouragment card. 

I started by die cutting a panel and added some ink blending  using a stencil from Altenew.  Stamped and coloured the lighthouse before die cutting it.  Added the sentiment directly to the panel and some birds (from an Altenew set) and then added the lighthouse with some 3D tape.  Added some pale blue striped paper as a mat and then onto a white card base. 

It's my turn to set the challenge for next month, so got my thinking hat on!  

Sending a BIG Hug with Lawn Fawn

 It's time for me to share my inspiration card for this month's challenge at Die Cut Divas.... 

We are delighted to have Lawn Fawn sponsor Die Cut Divas for the month of March with a $25 gift card.

The theme for this month is "Anything Goes"

I recently purchased a Lawn Fawn stamp and matching die set called "Magic Moments" - It's a great set with some awesome sentiments.   I chose to use the Fractured card technique - anything to use up some patterned paper.   

I used a piece of PP from Franceville's Tropical Daintree pack and cut it 4" x 5.25".  My centre was a 1.5" square. I used the reverse of the piece of PP to make my stripes with added silver Peelcraft lines.  I used the Lawn Fawn stamp and die set to cut the centre circle and backed it with a die cut doily from MFT - Die Namics - Dainty Duo.  Finished with some Altenew enamel dots from the Green Fields set. 

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas   with you projects.  Just a reminder to use you die cut machine!
