2 Challenges with One Card

It's not often I get a chance to play in challenges. It's even less often that I make a card that fits the criteria for 2 challenges. But the stars must have aligned for me as I used a technique I first saw Jennifer McGuire use and I've been wanting to try. I even ordered the same Memory Box Prim Poppy die because I was so impressed with her card!



I am so happy with how this turned out....every now and then a plan comes together! The patterned paper is from an older collection by K&Company.

So I will be entering this in the Lawnscaping Challenge #34 to use Dry or Heat Embossing (I used both).
And this also fits the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays to use a punch or die.




The best part is that both challenges are sponsored by my wonderful friends at Lawn Fawn!

  10. this is so pretty! i love the PP you used...i think that awesome mustard color would also fit with the PDCC color splash challenge? they allow neutrals i think, so the kraft might fit :)
