The tree line was cut out of one of the papers.



I added a little flocking to his muzzle:

TPV, SSS: Lawn Fawn b-day card

Sharing a card I made for a little girl's birthday.
Lots of Lawn Fawn here.
I used the current Paper Variety Challenge as a starting point.






TPV: 



I am submitting this card into the following challenges:
The Paper Variety: Bingo (embossed the critters, made a card, die cut the shape)
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes



Supplies:
Stamps by Lawn Fawn: Critters in the Burbs, Cruisin Through Life (heart), Harold's ABCs, and Bannerific

And a quick share.  My little guy was in the craft room while I was working on this card and saw me pull out the Critters in the Burbs set (his favorite).  He wanted to stamp and had a ball creating his scene on paper and coloring them so carefully.  Here's his project:
