March Hazzard County Challenge

Once again, this month's challenge was a whopper!
I wish I had taken pictures of the whole process this
card went through - Let's just say it got some serious
tweaking before it left the Scrapyard.

After a failed attempt at making my own patterned
paper using a 2-step stamp, I remembered the new
Versamark 'Dazzle' pad I got for my
birthday and used it, along with Pale Plum ink,
to stamp the hearts on the kraft paper. You can't
tell in the picture, but in real life they hearts have a
subtle, sweet shimmer to them.

I also originally coloured in the mushrooms using ink

and a blender pen, but it looked really crappy. So I
took my first venture into the 'World of Paper-Piercing'.
LOVE the results, but not sure I love how long it
took me to cut all those tiny bloomin' pieces out!
Maybe once all the kids are off to college, I may
try this technique again. LOL!!

Anyways, another great challenge and I can't
wait to see what my girls will come up with for April!
