I managed to put the scarecrow up yesterday - it looked great in the sunshine - but I'm not sure it will be looking very good by now! Oh well - we did our best.
I'm really pleased with her - I hope she manages to withstand the rain - and her cakes - lol - thats what they're supposed to be!!!!
Anyway - onto todays post - I decided I would like to use my favourite LOTV stamps to make a 10th birthday card for their challenge this month. I've been playing with the technique on mojo monday from chocolate baroque - basically stamping in versa and adding pan pastels over the top - its a great technique and I hope to apply the idea often - thanks for that one Glenda!
I've used the accordion flip album die - I stamped the background in black ink then added the extra panels on top using the stamping in versa mark and adding red pan pastel. The details pop out beautifully - then I added some pretty lace from the ribbon girl and also some sentiments, I cut the single letters from a sentiments stamp set.
I love the LOTV stamp set I've used as the main focus - you can get it here.
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Good morning Rachel, I hope you didn't have the terrible rain over night that we have had, or you will be looking at a very wet scarecrow!!! I love driving through one of our local villages who do this every year, it's great trying to work out which each one is. A beautiful card too. Enjoy your swim. Hazel xx
