Lawnscaping #102 - Distress

 Good morning! I hope that things are going well with you! I am so excited because we're suppose to have really nice weather today! My daughter and I are going to take a nice, long walk this afternoon to enjoy the warming weather! :)

Anyways, it's time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge!


This challenge is all about adding some distressed texture to your project. I don't have any distress inks, but I do have this cool little sanding tool, so I used it to distress the edges of my patterned paper!


I made a colorful grid card with patterned paper from Pebbes "Sunnyside" collection. I also used Lawn Fawn's "Small Stitched Square Stackables" die and "Best Pun Ever" stamp set for the sentiment and hearts. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the squares with the sentiment are attached with foam tape, while the other squares are sewed in place. Here is a close up to see the distressed edges:


I'm also horrible at sewing in a straight line, but I think it still turned out well!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Check out what the rest of the Lawnscaping Design Team created and don't forget to play along for a chance to win a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn!
