…Hellloo friends!
A new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge just started and the theme is Clean and Simple. I must admit, I find clean and simple very difficult! I feel like Clean and Simple for me doesn’t necessarily mean less time because I love to over-think my cards 😅.

It helps to have a cute image to work with so I used a mini set called Hang In There. That sloth is adorable! I stamped and colored him and his branch and leaves with Copic markers.
Greens: G02, G03 G09
Browns: [E000, E30, E31, E34, E37], [E41, E42, E43, E44]
Blush: R20

To give my card more interest, I used some Distress Oxide Inks in Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness, and Pine Needles to ink-blend a tropical background using the Tropical Leaves Background Stencils. I started with Bundled Sage and filled the entire area for behind a window. Then I used Rustic Wilderness for the first layer and Pine Needles for the second layer of the stencil set.

For the simple white frame to go over my stenciled background, I used the Outside In Stitched Circles and the largest die from the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set and positioned them where I wanted on a white panel before running them through my die-cutting machine together.

I finished my card by adhering the frame over the ink-blended background with foam adhesive, then I adhered my colored images as well. To keep it simple, I simply stamped a sentiment at the bottom of my circle frame. If I botched that, I would’ve covered it up with my typical embossed white sentiment strip over black cardstock…ha!
Hope you liked my card! Thanks so much for visiting today! If you’d like to play along with this Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, be sure to check out the Lawn Fawnatics Blog to enter and link up your project before the challenge ends on February 20th, 2022 at 11:59pm PT!
