Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #193 - Inspired by a Book, Music or Movie

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

this is one of my favorite challenges!!!

yay!!
LOVE this idea!
this time, I created a card inspired by Peter Pan!

so fun!
I stamped and colored the images from Fairy Friends and Ahoy, Matey! I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the images. then I added some details with a white gel pen. I altered one of the pirate's hands to add a hook  (Captain Hook!). the hook was stamped with the question mark from Harold's ABCs! ha ha ha! love it!

 

 

I die cut the background using the Stitched Pond dies. I used Distress Inks in Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the island. then I splattered some of the same ink on top, as well as some white acrylic ink. then I popped it up with foam tape.
I used Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers for the water!

I heat embossed the sentiment onto some Black Licorice Cardstock. then I die cut it out with the Stitched Sentiment Banners.

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

enjoy!

things are looking up!

hello!!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, and I love how it came out!

it uses some of the new release and some older projects!
I stamped the cats image from the new Spring Heights stamp and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut it out with the coordinating dies.

next, I used the A2 Card Layout 2 die set for the background!
I die cut out the background, taped it together and then ink blended it in blues (Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina) and greens (Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles) with the Hills & Grass Stencil. then I used the Cascading Stars Stencil and the same blues, but with more pressure. 

I also used the same stencil with some white embossing paste, but only with a select few of the stars.
I heat embossed the sentiment in vellum and then used the largest circle from the Frames Squared die set.

be sure to check out the card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #192 - All Things Birthday

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

the challenge this time is so easy, yet so FUN! you'll want to play along more than once!

I have been shaking around this pun idea in my head for a while and I'm so excited to have made it on a card! lol

so fun!
I love these sweet llamas!! I stamped and colored the images from Really High Five and Llama Tell You with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once they were dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I also added some details with a white gel pen. so sweet!

for the background, I used Distress Inks and the Lots of Stars Background stencil set with Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade. then I used the same colors to ink add color to the background. LOVE the contrast of the light greens and bright pinks and reds of the llama images!
.

 

I created the sentiment by combining phrases from Really High Five and the Harold's ABCs stamp set. it was heat embossed in white onto some black licorice cardstock.

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

enjoy!

hello!
and hi!
today I have this card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! it's so sweet, and bonus! I made a video to go along with it!
you can watch it by here or by heading to my youtube channel!

so cute, right?!
I used the new It's a Bird stamp set with the older Mini Pop-Up Box die set! I LOVE that die! it adds just the right amount of surprise inside the card!
I stamped the images and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen. and then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the outside of the card, I used the Puffy Cloud Borders to die cut out a 'tree top' inspired image from white cardstock. and then used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.
for the cardbase, I used the Birch Tree Stencils and Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the trees, and Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina for the sky.

inside the card is the real gem! yay!
I decorated inside the box with some acetate to make it look like the birds were flying, and the little mouse was popping up in the tree looking for the birds! so fun!
I also ink blended the inside panels with the same colors (Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron).
the box itself was stamped with the Woodgrain Backdrops stamp and then ink blending with Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the 'tree' and the same greens for the 'leaves' of the box!
hopefully you can tell that the box is supposed to mimic a tree!

   
the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. and I stamped a few music notes inside and out to finish off the card!
be sure to check out the card on the Lawn Fawn blog and the video, here!
enjoy!

I LOOOOOOVE these products today!
my first card uses the new Hyacinth set - and it's (almost!!) a one layer!

 

I stamped the images onto the background of the card front in Distress Oxide Inks. I used Wilted Violet to stamp the blooms and Mowed Lawn to stamp the stem and flowers. then I used the same colors, with the addition of Milled Lavender to ink blend around the stamped images.

I splattered some of the ink colors around, as well. then I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto vellum and trimmed it to a banner! then I used my sewing machine to stitch the banner on. 

I finished off the card by adding a bunch of sequins!  

my next card uses the new Daisies die set!

so pretty!
I die cut everything from white cardstock, and did lots of ink blending! I used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the blooms. Pine Needles, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron for the stems and leaves. and a little Mustard Seed for the centers! then I splattered everything with white acrylic ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment from Spring Roundabout in white onto some vellum and cut it to the shape of a banner along the bottom of the card.

for the background, I used white embossing paste and the Trailing Leaves stencil! love that little bit of subtle texture.

rainbows for all!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about that Spring feeling! and what's more spring that rainbows!

I started by stamping the images from All the Clouds, Upon a Star, Beary Rainy Day and Easter Party. then I colored them all with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them all out! I just love that bunny costume jumping to keep the other bunnies dry! so sweet!

I popped up the costume bunny and umbrella image with foam tape, as well as the sentiment.
the sentiment was heat embossed in white from the Here for You Bear set.
