Hi there friends!!! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. It's Mix it up Monday and today we're celebrating my favorite way...TACOS!!! I love the new taco cart add on to the Lawn Fawn Treat Cart series. It's so fun and makes me giggle because Mexican food is my favorite!
So today, I chose a few images from the Treat Cart original set and the Taco Cart add on set, stamped and colored them. Then I used coordinating ides to cut it all out and a little liquid glue to assemble the pieces together.
Then I snagged the Mama Elephant Scallop Circles dies and cut the stitched circle from white with the two back layers from orange and green. Such a festive color combo! I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together and ink blended a little yellow in the center of the circle to take off the harsh white background.
Next, I took a piece of white cardstock measuring 4x5.25 inches and spritzed it with Distress Oxide spray and Distress Spritz for color and shimmer. Then I took my Lawn Fawn jalapeno ink pad direct to the edges of my card base for texture and color. While that was drying I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment and cut it up into sentiment strips.
For assembly, I popped the orange panel up with foam tape, then popped the circle up on that. The taco stand is glued directly to the circle and the critters are popped up with foam squares. Last, I added the sentiment strips with foam strips filling in some of the white spaces. For finishing touches today I just added white gel pen highlights to the images.
What's your favorite type of food? The one that makes you happy dance in your seat...
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
