Spring has sprung over at the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog! Welcome to the Lawnscaping Blog Hop! These hops are so much fun, and the challenge site is so much fun! You should have arrived from the very talented Karin's blog!
I'm celebrating the arrival of spring with a card that feature's Lawn Fawn's Blissful Botanicals, a bit of ink and lots of intense, happy colors. I stamped a few select images from the set in a cascading manner onto kraft paper and then colored the leaves in with colored pencils. I was inspired to pull out the pencils for the current Lawnscaping Challenge!
There is all sorts of details on the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog regarding the hop, but here are a few details:
The hop lasts until the evening of April 8th where you have the chance to comment on all stops for a chance at winning prizes from sponsors like Lawn Fawn, and The Sweet Stamp Shop Stamp.
