Scrapy Land Challenge #23 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday :) I hope you are having a fabulous start to August!! It's time for another fun challenge at Scrapy Land and it's everyone's favorite: Anything Goes using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries (there are over 40 brands to choose from!!) You could win a $15 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land!!


I just got a batch of new dies from SL and I couldn't wait to use them :)


I started with the new Elizabeth Crafts Bricks Background die. I used my new favorite technique to add dimension, craft foam. Thanks to my sweet design team sister Anne for introducing this method to me...I love it!! I cut the bricks first with the foam and then in cardstock. The bricks are covered with a Spellbinders D-Lites Ivy die. The sentiment is from Kaisercraft's Script Word Die...


...as is the sentiment on this one. The birdhouse, birdbath, birds and grass are from Elizabeth Crafts Design's Susan's Garden Woods 2 die set. The butterflies are from Die-Versions Garden Gazebo die set.


I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) DL.ART - August Linky
2) Little Scrap Pieces - Show it Off Sunday


Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Scrapy Land to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your project using a brand of die that Scrapy Land  carries!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

Lisa- your cards are so good!! You created amazing scenes...I can totally picture standing on a lawn and staring at the brick wall with ivy and the sweet bird bath.

I did have the brick background in my SL cart yesterday but ended up taking it out...I so regret it now!

Another amazing piece of art. Love the partial brick background from EC and all the lovely little birds and butterflies and ivy. Love the touches of the bird bath and bird house. The scene looks like the perfect place for a cup of tea and a good book. You did not mention how you created the white brick. Stencil and embossing paste?

My sweetest friend, these are gorgeous! The brick die atop the brick background is especially stunning... the visual packs quite a punch. :o) I love the foam idea, especially for cuts like this where it would take ten years to cut tiny strips of foam tape! The ivy is gorgeous and I am so enamored with the butterfly and sweet birdies fluttering about! The birdhouse and bird bath are stunning. I always love how you put together scenes.. you are amazing, my talented friend! Have a sparkly day. :o)

Hugs and blessings,
Karen

Oh lovely autumn colors. Loving the cascading ivy down this 'brick' wall. These look like 2 very versatile dies, and work so nicely against the embossed & distressed brick wall. Loved the extra details of the bird house, bird bath with all the waiting birdies and the horizontal placement of the sentiment. Just gorgeous card, Lisa. As usual! TFS & Hugs
