Lawnscaping Challenge 93: Fall & Pumpkins

11/3/2014

November Loft Art Retreat | shurkus.com

WOW! This weekend wrapped up my Loft Art Retreats for 2014- and it was a wicked fun time as usual! It was so awesome to get artsy fartsy with everyone and see how unique everyone’s projects came out! I will have more to share about the retreat and plans for 2015 soon. I didn’t take a ton of photos because my friend Sarah who is a super talented photographer came to take pics of the event for me so I will have those to share as well! For now you can check out all the posts everyone shared with the #loftartretreat here

Now lets get to the latest Lawnscaping Challenge!!

Lawnscaping Challenge #93: Fall/Pumpkins

This week on the Lawnscaping Challenge blog we are challenging you to create something with a fall/pumpkin theme! It has definately gotten very fall like here in New England- I just wanted to hibernate and stay cozy all day yesterday, it was blustery out and we even saw some white stuff! ICK!

Stitched Party Banners, Lawn Fawn  Stitched Leaves, Lawn Fawn

For this card I actually didn’t do any stamping!! I know crazy!! I wanted to mix together a bunch of the yummy Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather papers and Lawn Cuts (dies). The stitched banner, circle and heart are all from Stitched Party Banner and the leaves are from their Stitched leave sets. Once I die cut them from various patterns I inked their edges with the Mini Ink Blending Tool and Distress Inks. I used a color first then layered on top some Vintage Photo. I tied a bow… yes a bow… with some of the new Orchid Lawn Trimmings and then sprinkled on some sequins from last years “Into the Woods” mix pack. I chose not to put a sentiment. I can always stamp something on the inside- this could be a thank you, a birthday, happy thanksgiving or a simple hello!

    First of all – your card is stunning. Sometimes you just don’t need stamps to pull it off, and this is one of those times where it all fits together just perfectly.
    Secondly, thank you for making my day and posting my project on your facebook. You are the absolute sweetest!
