Happy Thursday everyone! It's
Rosemary
here sharing this card created with Lawn Fawn Dies, Stamps and Paper. I
really enjoy creating scene cards, and the awesome selection at
DIES R US
gives me so many options!! I love that they carry Lawn Fawn Stamps and
paper along with a bunch of their dies. It makes creating a cohesive
scene easy and fun!

The
links to all of the products used for this card from the Dies R Us
Store are shown below. Here is a step-by-step of how I created this
card. I used Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Backdrop Portrait Die, Lawn
Fawn Fairy Friends, and Lawn Fawn Simple Puffy Cloud Frames Dies.
First,
I cut out the large hillside backdrop die from green cardstock twice.
On the 2nd one, you don't need the full shape....just the bottom part.
On
the 2nd piece, you are going to snip off the bottom part. I always like
to raise that part on foam squares to give the card more dimension.
Here you can see what you need....the full die-cut and then just the bottom portion of the hillside.
Next
I cut out the clouds, and added blue cardstock for the sky. The clouds
have not been glued on yet. I'm going to add foam squares to the large
cloud later. If you are going to stamp a sentiment like I did on the
green panel, then you want to do that now before you add foam squares to
the back.
Next,
I stamped the house twice on watercolor paper, and once on the
patterned paper. This pad is no longer in the store, but I linked the
Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid-Spring 6x6 Paper Pad below because the
patterns are similar.
I
cut around the patterned paper house. Next I took a craft knife and cut
out the little window areas. I used Mustard Yellow Distress Marker to
color yellow on the window on one of the blank images. Then I glued the
patterned paper house on top of the house with the yellow window. Next, I
used Distress Markers to color the door, step, and rooftop of the 2nd
house. The green was Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, and Crushed Olive. The
pink was Vintage Photo, Fired Brick, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar. The door
was Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo and Antique Linen. The step was Black
Soot.
After
the watercolor dried, I cut out the rooftop and door. I also colored
the areas I'm paper-piecing black so if I didn't cut the roof and door
precisely, the pattered paper underneath won't show.
I
decided to do a simple paper tole effect on the house so I added foam
squares (you can cut the squares so they fit better) to the roof and
door.
You
can see the raised effect here. Later, I ended up taking the foam off
the back of the door and just gluing the door directly to the house. It
worked better with the design.
Here
you can see some of the dimension. The large cloud, the fairies, the
house and the bottom green panel with the sentiment are all raised on
foam squares. I did the same paper tole technique on the flowers next to
the house.

is very close to the same colors)
