 Here is what I created this week for the challenge

 
I created a standard A2 sized card using some kraft CS as my base. All my papers are from Daphne's Closet collection kit from Lawn Fawn. My first layer is a cute green/white pattern cut at 4x5 1/4". My next layer is a pretty soft blue diamond pattern cut at 3 3/4" x 5. On the other side of this paper is that cute arrow paper on the bottom which I cut out at 4x 1 3/4". Before I adhered that arrow pattern down, I used some of Lawn Fawn's goldenrod cord and wrapped it around a couple times for some added texture. I cut out a circle with my circle punch at 1" and created my own button out of that green/white pattern and threaded some more of that goldenrod cord through and tied it into a bow.


For my main focal image, I stamped out this cute polaroid picture frame from the Say Cheese stamp set. I stamped it on white CS from Bazzill and on that blue diamond pattern from the Daphne's Closet papers. I used Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese Lawn Cuts polaroid die to cut out my frame. I used some of the green/white pattern paper to create some grass. I cut it into a small strip and used my scissors to make slits for the grass. I adhered that to the inside of the blue frame. Then I took the two frames and adhered them together, interlocking one inside the other.

I stamped out a tree, giraffe and rhino from Lawn Fawn's Critters on the Savanna stamp set, colored them in with my copics and then cut them out using the Critters on the Savanna Lawn Cuts dies. I love these new dies that Lawn Fawn has come out with! They make projects like this one so easy to make! The only image that I had to fussy cut was the tree. They don't have a die for that. The clouds were cut out using the Sunny Skies Lawn Cuts dies. I took my B00 copic to outline the clouds and the rhino's horn and then added a bit of glitter using my sakura glitter pen. The cute sentiment "You make me smile" comes from Lawn Fawn's Hello Friend stamp set which was inked up with momento tuxedo black ink. I started building my scene by adhering the clouds to the back of the frame first. Then I added the rhino to the grass, then the giraffe and finally the tree. The entire frame and scene is on some foam tape.I love how this scene turned out! It's soooo cute! Don't ya think?
 
 
To finish off my card, I took my sakura glitter pen again and added "dots" of glitter to the middles of  where the diamonds meet on the blue frame. I love this as that frame really looks awesome! I also colored in the white frame with the glitter pen. Below is a picture of the finished inside of the card which has another sentiment from the "Hello Friend" stamp set and another little "scene" using more images from the Critters on the savanna stamp set.  I went back to add some Mint Satin Sequins from Neat & Tangled.


 Well that is my card for ya for today so let's see what the design team has created. Now keep in mind that not everyone had Lawn Fawn stamps so they created their own cute creations with whatever critters they did have! And boy are they cute!!!

  10. Gosh, this card had a lotta work on it. So many layers. So many pretty things to look at. Loved your critter polaroid, and isn't it wonderful to have those dies to cut them out. Your papers were so pretty with these little animals. I don't think I have a single Lawn Fawn stamp...must look into that! The way you stacked & arranged your layers, really made this card look as though it was a magazine spread layout! Very effective. Great use of your blue copic shadowing too. TFS

    I have a question:
    How do you take a blinkie from one blog and put it on your own?
    Or add one that has been sent to you by email?
