The current Lawnscaping Challenge is to create your own patterned paper with stamps.
I lined-up four stamps from You've Got Mail on an acrylic block (I did finally order some new Lawn Fawn sets, but they haven't arrived yet), and inked & stamped repeatedly until my background was covered (I always start with a larger sheet of paper & then trim down, so I can edit out any stamping errors).
I stamped in Chestnut Roan chalk ink on Kraft & then added some red stamping for my focal point.
This card is also for the No Rules! Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
That is awesome how you work those stamps beautifully!
I would sure love to visit you the next time I am in CR! That would be fun!

Love your postal images and the focal red heart. Very nice card! This might be a perfect creation for the Moxie Fab Focal challenge, too?!? :)

The minute I saw this card I pulled out my stamps and paper and went to work making my own paper. You are always an inspiration, but today I postponed my walk so I could make this!!
