For today’s card, I’ve combined the current Lawnscaping challenge with the February Sketch For You To Try layout. Well, actually it’s the mirror image of the sketch. I reversed it so the bananas wouldn’t be “looking off the edge” of the card. The Lawnscaping challenge is to use distressing on your project. I chose to ink the edges of the sentiment circle. I also sponged the circular elements on the long narrow strip in the sketch and then glued the fussy cut bananas over them. I decided to dress up the inside of the card a bit by adding a bit of sponging to the edges of the liner cardstock and another banana just for fun. I kept the card pretty simple, without a lot of foofy stuff, because it’s going in my Operation Write Home stash.
