This card was so much fun to make.......and perfect for someone who loves making stripes on his lawns, and is a real perfectionist of grass mowing.
It's a case from Paula Dobson of stampinantics.blogspot.com
who has a really cool tutorial for this stamp set, which a good friend discovered for me.
I stamped and masked the man, clouds and sun, then blended blue and green ink for the background.
Stamped again the man and mower and used dimensional foam pads underneath.
I used Blender Pens to colour in, and had to continue the grass stems by inking only part of the stamp,
and then trying to line it up with the rest, so you can see the dip where I went a bit wonky.
I reckon it was a rabbit hole or something ;)
I then took the card a step further and did a pop-up inside of the man in the hammock.
I used pencils this time to colour in, trying different greens to create interest.
As usual, it's the finishing touches that go awry.......as I trimmed it to fit, I accidently cut some of the grass off..........but by using the offcut to lay flat, it kinda worked.....what do you think?
I was able to stamp the sentiment onto that piece too.
Cheers!
I hope you have a relaxing weekend

This is fantastic and such fun. Wouldn't worry about the dip in the grass, my lawn has more craters than the moon thanks to the activity of badgers!!
