Double Duty - Lawn Fawn

Barb, Kelly and I have fun creating together even though we live far apart. We have a few challenges each month. You might recognize us in these - Three Musketeers, Ready Set Go, Stamp What, Hot Mess Success. Last month we started a new one, too. The Double Duty Challenge, which was Barb's idea.

Each month we each choose one stamp set from a pre-determined stamp company and make two cards using it. At least one thing has to be seen on both cards (color, embellishment, stamp, etc.). We post on a double-digit day each month, too - the 22nd. Today is the day!

This month's company is Lawn Fawn. I don't have a lot of Lawn Fawn stamp sets, but I have enough of them that I had to make a decision which one to use. I ended up choosing the Making Frosty Friends stamp/die set.

Card #1

I took Jenn Shurkus' Distress Ink Technique class this weekend (so did Barb and Kelly) and practiced smooshing. I'm not very good at it, but I wanted to incorporate it into my card so I did. The piece behind the snowman is smooshed.

Card #2

Be sure to check out Barb's blog and Kelly's blog to see their Double Duty posts, too.
