Let's party! {lawn fawn}

Hi there, and welcome back to the last day of Lawn Fawn's March inspiration week.

We're featuring the Stripey Background die. I love it for creating a quick graphic background that covers the entire card base.

I couldn't help but use the Big Foot again, from Lovable Legends. I paired him with party accessories from Party Animal.

I usually hate die-cutting all of the little pieces separately (like the hat, cake and flag here) because, with the white die-cut outlines, they never look like they fit together seamlessly. Here, before cutting out the party hat, cake and flag, I stamped the Big Foot's hands and head, and I do like how that looks much better.

What do you think? Worth the tiny bit of extra effort?

I could have also done the same thing for the balloon string and the present, but since they were more in the background, I left them alone.

I hope you like it!  There's more to see on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning - click!

  2. Seriously cute Elena, your cards are always great! And YES, I do think it was worth the effort!
    Details are where it's at in cards, I think. Most people who see my cards often comment on the thought I put into the details. I have learned over time that that is the difference between a nice card and an awesome one.

    Since Google-Blogger people don't do customer service and remove my dead blogger profile for my blog moved to WP 2012! I guess it will remain merged to my account and keep me from commenting with my proper credentials forever...3 years running...
