Crafty As L

It was Mr L’s birthday a few weeks ago and I was struggling to think of what card to make him so scrolled through Pinterest for ideas.   After seeing one that appealed, I thought how I could recreate it with supplies from my stash. First, I knew I had a fun toadstool in Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens so that’s where I began.   I stamped and clear heat-embossed it so I could colour it with alcohol markers.   I cut it out with the matching die. Next, I die-cut FUN GUY using Lawn Fawn Louie’s Alhpabet from some very old Stampin’ Up! paper which had toadstools on it.   Perfect!   I wanted the letters to be stacked so cut a few layers from red card and glued them all together. For the other lettering, I sketched it in pencil and then went over the large letters with a black Posca and used a 0.8 Micron pen for the smaller letters.   It was only after I’d finished the card that I realised how ‘uphill’ the writing at the bottom was but it was too late by then. ...
