We are celebrating two years at 2S4Y these past couple of weeks with two sponsors! Lawn Fawn & Scor-it, featuring Cathie Allen's Position-it. I have made this card with tutorial using Lawn Fawn stamps and the very cool Position-it.

This months G.C.D. facebook design team challenge was to use gradient color. I enjoyed this technique, it made me think outside the box and create out of my comfort zone. For this card I dabbled in the fabulous collections, Artsy Urban and a little Homespun Chic, from G.C.D. Studios the two compliment each other beautifully to make a "Lovely" card.

Thanks for all your sweet comments!
