LAD DT Challenge!


Today is Challenge Day for the Lizzie Anne Design Team, and this month's challenge is an inspiration challenge.  What a beautiful color palette this photo showcases!  I immediately was reminded of this designer paper...does anyone recognize it?  It has no identifying labels or text of any kind, but it sure seemed perfect for this challenge!

I made a long landscape-oriented card because I wanted it to be reminiscent of a long stretch of lawn badly in need of being mowed!  I really wanted to edge the top of the patterned paper with the MS grass punch, but our local craft stores did not have it, so I ended up hand-snipping a strip of *grass* instead!  I stamped the mower from this month's mix twice with Soft Suede and once with Groovy Guava, cutting out the layers and adhering them with glue or dimensionals.  For embellishments, I kept it simple, tying on some fiber and adding a button tied with a jute bow.  It still needs *something* but whatever that is, it isn't in my stash!  ;)  I thought maybe it was an Old Guys Rule brad, but I decided against it!  I'll keep an open mind, and when the time is right, it'll hit me!
