Tuesday Trigger - Lovely on the Green

This week's Tuesday Trigger is brought to you by Alicia Thelin. I loved both the colour and the patterns in the trigger and Alicia's card is very pretty!

Here is the trigger


and here is my card




I started out by stamping the Cuckoo clock on real wood paper with StazOn ink. The surface was a bit slick so I had to be careful not to move the stamp at all for fear of smudging.



The idea in my head was very clean and simple but I just got this beautiful paper in the mail and wanted to use it! It is by Webster's Pages and is called Lullaby Lane & Life's Portrait.



The scalloped border is a paper by Cosmo Cricket and the toile-like border strip is the reverse side of the Webster's paper.





I stamped the sentiment (retired Hero Arts) on acetate because I knew that it wouln't fit on the toile paper strip. This way I didn't have to worry about the gap that is created when you stamp on 2 thicknesses of paper.



I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! We are enjoying some seasonally warm weather which is great for taking our beagle to the park!
