ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (AND THIS AWESOME CARD) (1)

For this Valentine's Day card, I combined three Lawn Fawn stamp sets together: Porcu-Pine For You (and its add-on set) with Special Delivery.

For the background, I used Peacock cardstock. With the Birch Tree Stencils and Yeti Ink, I ink blended the trees to the background. When the ink dried, I added splatter with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink, to make them look more like actual birch trees.

I used three scene setting die sets to create hills and grass: Grass Border, Simple Grassy Hilssides and Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. I used Paperbag cardstock for the hill and Cilantro cardstock for the grass. The grass was also ink blended with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped the images and colored everything with Copic Markers:

Porcupine: E29 - E57/ E00 - E11/ E04

Mushrooms: E41 - E43 - E44/ R35 - R37 - R39/ R01 - R22
