My first post, upload and Challenge! Wow! A birthday card I made for the son of a coworker.
I cheated on the sky and used printed inkjet paper.Tore and distressed the grassy layers, heat embossed the sentiment, and dry embossed and inked the tree.Tree, horse and fenced popped up on foam tape and/or dimensionals. All of the scene elements except the small flowers were cut with my Cricut.
*correction: sentiment was coated with a thick layer of Glossy Accents

Oops, my bad. Sentiment was cut with Cricut and liberally coated with Glossy Accents for some stability.
Thanks so much for making me feel welcome. Y'all are the greatest!!!
