when rhinos fly... {lawnscaping challenge}

***this is my 2nd post of the day!  scroll down or click *here* for my lawn fawn inspiration week post

It's time for another lawnscaping challenge!  We're asking you to craft your inspiration!  Is there a crafter who inspires you?  A pin that caught your eye?  A new stamp set or tool that sparked something creative in you?  Craft it, and link up to our challenge!

I am so inspired by Pinterest.  Especially, posters and prints.  I found this nursery print:

and turned it into this card:

I didn't keep the vintage vibe, or even the same animal (we need a lawn fawn elephant, though!) but that harness inspired me to hook up my party rhino and take him for a spin.  You know what they say: when rhinos fly... (oh wait, that's pigs.  hee)



I paper-pieced the balloons, but masked around the clouds to sponge in a soft sky.  The harness on the rhino was hand-drawn, using a memento black marker, so that I could still color him in with copics and not have any ink-bleed.

Now that I'm writing up this post, I realize that I not only roughed up the edges of my patterned paper, but I also added some faux stitching, and used "critters on the savanna."  I think I must have crafted this card the same day as my woven giraffe card :)  Do you ever do that?  Carry over a certain technique from one card to the next if you craft them in the same day?  I hardly ever make more than 1 card at a time.... maybe I should stick to that.  *grins*

I hope you join us this week:
