Hello! I’m back with another project for Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week. Today we are featuring the new set Wish You Were Here. This is a great set for scrapbooking especially if you like to travel. But it also makes great cards too. 🙂
I may have had a slight moment of crazy when I thought it would be good idea to paper piece all the states together. But I stuck with it and like how it turned out in the end. I used the 3×4 stitched journaling card die to cut a piece of kraft card stock. Then I stamped it with brown ink using Woodgrain backdrops and inked it with tea dye distress ink to darken it up. I cut the two smaller stitched clouds from the Spring Showers dies and covered them using my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen which is a little hard to see in the photograph but just a bit of shine. I used the Let’s Polka papers for the paper piecing and the striped background. The background piece has some distress ink on the edges to define them a bit. And, I finished it off with some of the new Cloudy Lawn Trimmings Twine.
Be sure to visit the Lawn Fawn Blog for more projects with this fun set!
