Lawnscaping Challenge #126 - Sweets

Hello there!  It's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge, and this one is pretty SWEET!

We are sponsored by the super fabulous Lawn Fawn!

For my card, I pulled out one of my favorites Sweet Smiles.  I just love coloring that gumball machine!  My background was inspired by something I saw in a magazine... sort of a sponged ombre of sorts.  I am not sure how well it worked it, but I  think it's kind of cool.  I used Blueprint Sketch distress ink at the bottom, and then pounced the ink blending tool up to the top of the panel adding less ink and I went up.  I stamped, colored and diecut the gumball machine and a few gumballs with the coordinating Sweet Smiles dies, then stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set.  Finally I added some accents with a white gel pen, and tied a twine bow with Blue Jay Lawn Trimmings.

Be sure to visit the blog for all of the challenge details and lots more inspiration from the design team!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
