Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #183 - Monochromatic

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

what a fun challenge this time - monochromatic!

 

LOVED the idea of picking a color and getting creative!

 

so fun, right?
clearly, I chose yellows and the yellow family for my card!
I stamped the images from Fox Costumes Before 'n Afters, Party Animal, You're a Keeper and Hive Five. all of the images were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and then die cut out.
I also added some details with a white gel pen.

 

 

for the background, I used the Corner Rainbow Stencils and various shades of yellows in Distress Oxide Inks (Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Antique Linen)
then I also used the Honeycomb Stencil with some white embossing paste to add some texture and another nod to those sweet bees!

 

I splattered some of the ink color around the honeycomb texture paste. then I added the images by popping up the fox, balloon, speech bubble and hive with foam tape!

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!

both of my cards use the new Evergreen Frame Die Set!
my first card also uses the new Merry Christmas Die Set - LOOOOOVE these new sentiment dies!

I die cut out the evergreens two times, and then watercolored with Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles. I also watercolored the background in pinks and corals using Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold. then I splattered some white acrylic ink on top of everything!

the sentiment was die cut in black cardstock, and then layered on top of some vellum! love that subtle look! I also die heat embossed the santa's sleigh image from the adorable Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set.

 

 

I finished the card by using the white frame to complete the whole scene!

my second card uses the Evergreen Frame Die Set with the new Christmas Word Trio die set!

 

 

again, the beautiful evergreens were die cut from white cardstock, then I used Distress Oxide Inks to add color! I used Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the trees. for the sky, I used Uncharted Mariner, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers.

then I used white embossing paste and the Petite Snow Stencil set to add some texture and pops of white! I also added it to the sentiment!

I die cut the snowflakes from the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set and then added the same color as the JOY letters: Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold.
