I think I've peaked

My card was featured on the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog! This was the first time I have submitted projects for a challenge in five years, and it gave me the biggest creative confidence boost. I submitted my  s'more card  to the Lawn Fawnatics "summertime fun" challenge . And on a whim, I made a second card at the last minute with an extra starry night background that I had on hand. My clean and simple last minute card was one of eight featured at the end of the challenge! This slimline card also might be the first card I've made without any stamping.  Supplies : Lawn Fawn Large Slimline Die Set Lawn Fawn Build A Campsite Die Set Lawn Fawn Glue Tube Ranger Distress Ink

Read until the end if you want the plot twist in this saga. Everything started out well, with a gold paint splattered background on navy cardstock. I cut Lawn Fawn's "Forest Backdrop" die on woodgrain cardstock. Some of the other shapes from that set (moon, stars, trees) and "S'more the Merrier" were die cut on plain white cardstock (Neenah Solar White) to color with Copic markers. I used Lawn Fawn patterned paper to make grass and cut the tent from "Build-A-Campsite". At this point I was getting near the end of my dedicated three hours for crafting. I hurried to heat emboss a sentiment on the starry sky background after everything else was assembled and adhered. Disaster... I messed up the order of the sentiment words! So mad at myself, I had to sit...
