Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #202 - Color Inspiration

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

I super love a color inspiration!!!

yay!!
these colors are so fresh and bright and perfect for so many different cards!
personally, I couldn't resist making a card with oranges and capybaras!

so fun!
I stamped and colored the images from Capybaras! and Capybaras! Add-on as well as Be Hap-pea and Party Animal with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I added some details with a white gel pen and used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.
I love that idea of coloring the peas from Be Hap-pea as oranges to join the fun with the capybaras! just adorable and so fun!

 

I did lots of ink blending for the background of the card.
first I die cut out the two layers of the card from white cardstock using the Large Slimline with Sliders dies. I used Distress Inks in Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina for the sky.
I die cut out the grass using the Grassy Borders and the added color with Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. 

 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. then I used the smallest banner from the Stitched Sentiment Banners to die cut it out and popped it up with foam tape.

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

enjoy!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - with Newton's Nook Designs

hi there and good morning!
today I have this super fun and festive card for as part of the Newton's Nook Design's team for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!

I hope you're able to grab your favorite cup of warmth and join us this month!
let's check out my card:

so fun!
I die cut out the coffee cup with paper from the Meowy Christmas Paper Pad using the Coffee Mug Hot Foil Plate and Die Set. then I used some Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold to ink blend over the stripes.
next, I die cut out the pine needles from the Pines & Holly Die Set multiple times from white cardstock and then used Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.
I also splattered some white acrylic ink on top! LOVE it!

I layered the pine needles behind the coffee mug so dimension.
and speaking of dimension, I also used some white embossing paste and glitter with the Snowfall Stencil to add some tone-on-tone texture to the card base!

I also used the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock and die cut out the bow too! and I finished off the card by splattering some gold glitter around the pine needles!

be sure to check out the rest of the inspiration and play along with the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!
hugs!
