Tuning in to Say

Here’s a clean and simple birthday themed project for the current Lawnscaping challenge. I used a non-birthday image with sentiments from a few different Lawn Fawn sets from i {heart} papers to put this one together.

I used the retro style radio from the Stay Tuned set as my focal image. It’s stamped in gray ink for a metal-like look. After I cut it out, I added some Glossy Accents to the radio dial for a dimensional look. The radio is set on a blue panel that I stamped with one of the Chevron Backdrop strips. I edged the chevron patterned strip with a piece of coordinating navy cardstock, then did a little zig zag stitching at the top with my sewing machine before adhering the strip to a white panel.

It took 3 different stamp sets to get the sentiment I wanted. “Tuning in to say” is from the Stay Tuned set. “Happy” and “day” are from the Take it Easy set. I turned to the Clear to See set to find a letter b to use to make “b-day.” I used a blue marker to add in the little hyphen between b and day.  A little fussy, but worth the effort in the end!

from i {heart} papers: Lawn Fawn Stay Tuned, Chevron Backdrops, Take it Easy, and Clear to See stamp sets, Tsukineko Memento Gray Flannel and Nautical Blue inks, Ranger Glossy Accents, Sticky Thumb dimensional dots
