S'More Love

Who loves Smores?

I admit it's one of my favorite treats.  I recently saw online someone put together a Smore tray with lots of different flavors of graham crackers and different chocolates. So guess what's on my treat list this weekend? Going to make a Smores Smorgasbord! Or Smores bar! 

Why am I talking about Smores? It's the focus of my card for this post.  I created it for the current Lawn Fawn challenge.  I have quite a few Lawn Fawn stamps/dies/stencils, but when I saw this challenge, I realized I have very little regarding food.  Luckily, I had their adorable Smores die. Everything on this card but the ink is Lawn Fawn.



I started by blending my background, adding some water spots and then die cut it with the Sunburst die plate. Next I embossed the sentiment. The mountains I cut from already watercolored paper or rather a smooshed background of green ink.  Anytime I ink blend or do ink to paper for custom colored cardstock, I will spritz the ink left on my glass mat and smoosh it onto watercolor or coated cardstock. Sometimes I use photo paper. I just can't sop up that ink and throw it away.  Seems criminal somehow. hahaha Then, I have a ready supply of colored backgrounds.  So this was in my stash.  The graham cracker pieces of my smore also were from already smooshed watercolored paper. I did take some Gingerbread ink and blend on the edges of those pieces for a little toasted look, as on the big and small marshmallows. 

Because the smore die has lots of different pieces so you have to cut it several times to get the different colors, I now have several more smores already made.  Wish I could do that with the real ones.  hahaha
