You're Dino-Mite and GIVEAWAY!

Oh yea, the weekend is ALMOST here!

I've got a quick post to play along with the latest

Lawnscaping Challenge: Texture

I had a special request from a coworker to create a birthday card 

for her nephew who loves dinosaurs.

Of course I had to pull out my Lawn Fawn and get to work!

The texture challenge was the perfect inspiration to play with cork

from DCWV Cork Solids Stack Brights.  It has such beautiful colors and

die cuts like butter!  I used Lawn Fawn Black Licorice for a crisp stamped image.

Everything came together quickly with pattern paper from

 Lawn Fawn's Beachside Pint Sized Patterns as the background.  I die cut a

stitched oval stackable to create the base of the scene.  Then die cut some grass and adhered

 the images with Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive (my favorite liquid adhesive).

The brontosaurus was adhered with foam dots for some dimension.

I wish you could feel the texture through the screen! 

I used a cool gray copic marker to create some shadowing on the dinosaurs since

they were all die cut from colored cork.

There you have it!

I'm hoping he loves it!!

Mahalo for stopping by.

Oh and since you made it this far I'm doing a GIVEAWAY!

The hubby recently "renovated" my blog look and I wanted to celebrate!!

I would love to hear what you would do with $20 to the A2Z Scrapbooking Store.

You have until Monday (9/14) at midnight Hawaiian Standard Time to comment on

Good luck and thanks for playing!!
