Feed Out Time On The Farm

I seriously wish my farm looked this green at the moment, we have just headed into Autumn and things are pretty dry. 

I decided to make an interactive element on my card, I used MFT Surf & Turf Sliders

I used loads of Lawn Fawn product on my card
Hay There Stamp set
Hay There - Hay Rides 
Grassy Hillside border dies

I coloured the images up with my copic markers.

Another Fly By

When I was playing with cloud backgrounds a couple of weeks ago, I also did this background using distress oxide in Mermaid Lagoon, I used a light touch and spaced the clouds a reasonable distance apart compared to my usual clouds which gave me lots of lovely white puffy space.

 The image is called Sky's the Limit from Kraftin Kimmie, it is now retired but I did find a link HERE where you may be able to still purchase it.
I coloured up my image with Copic markers and Promarkers

Box Card from The Whole Herd

 A couple of posts ago, I shared a card for the Mix It Up Challenge fancy folds challenge, I mentioned that I had made another fancy folds card.
I hadn't made a box card in ages so I decided to get my hand back in and give one a go.

I used Hay There stamp set by lawn fawn along with an alpha dieset from them and added sentiments from You Goat This

I coloured the images with my copic markers.

I know there are tutorials for box cards but I just made mine on my score board with no measurements, playing around with the score lines and eyeballing it.
I really enjoyed putting this one together and it has definitely got me in the mood for adding some interactive elements on some cards.
So I am off to have a play and will post the results in some upcoming posts.

As always, thanks for popping by,
Lou

Birthday Flyby....

 I wanted to do some cloud backgrounds with distress oxides which meant I had a couple of cool backgrounds to use so I am sharing the first card today using the coloured background....

I used distress oxides in Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold and Victorian Velvet.
The stampset is My Favorite Things Magical Dragons
and the white clouds are die cuts

This card inspired my 12 year son to make me a card....

I was a little surprised at the american spelling of Mum, but totally thrilled anyway :)

Fancy Folds at Mix it up challenge...

 This month at Mix It Up Challenge our theme is Fancy Folds.
I made 2 cards but only submitted one as my DT card.
I will share the other one at a later date.

I am not sure what the fold is called but I worked out the measurements through trial and error and uses my score board to make the score lines.
The cloud background was inked with SU ink in soft sky and MFT cloud stencil.
The grass was inked with SU ink in green galore and cucumber crush.
The stencil is a longline Lawn Fawn one.
The images are all from Lawn Fawn Hay There, Hayrides and coloured with copic markers.

Looking forward to seeing you play along with us at the challenge this month :)
