Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #188 - Let's Celebrate

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!

the Let's Celebrate challenge is sooo fun and versatile! this time, I decided to make a sweet rainbow baby card!

adorable!
I stamped and colored the images from Plus One with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images. and of course - I couldn't resist coloring them in a rainbow palette!

 

for the background, I die cut the base with the Large Slimline with Sliders dies from Fog Cardstock. then I used some white embossing paste and the Cloud Background Stencils to add some subtle texture.
a few of the umbrellas were popped up with foam tape, but most were tapped directly on the card front.

 

I heat embossed part of the sentiment from Little Bundle in black onto some vellum. then I die cut it out with the Fancy Wavy Banners. the rest of the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. then I trimmed it way down. 

 

I finished the card off with a light sprinkling of black ink around the card!
I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #164 - Let's Celebrate

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

yay! 

 

 

I had so much fun making this sweet, baby-themed and shaped card!

 

One of my favorite older sets is Plus One!
It was one of my first Lawn Fawn sets, and the images are SOOOO cute and sweet and perfect for welcoming a new baby! I used the cute umbrella - which I LOOOOOVE and use for non-baby themed cards too! 

 

the images were colored them in various shades of pinks and reds with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. 
I added some details with a white gel pen, too. then I fussy cut them out.

I die cut out a bunch of clouds with the Stitched Cloud Frames and Outside in Stitched Cloud Stackables! I used Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot and Lost Shadow to add some color and texture to the white cardstock. Then I splatted some white acrylic ink on top! 


 

I popped up the small clouds and the umbrella images with foram tape. and then I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock that I trimmed into a banner shape!

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

I stamped the images from Swan Soiree and then colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! once they were dry, I added a little dot detail to their cheeks and fussy cut them out!
for the background, I used Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn to ink blend on white cardstock for the grass and hills! I die cut them out with Grassy Borders and Stitched Hillside Borders!

next, I die cut out the Stitched Pond and used Distress Oxide Inks in Chipped Sapphire, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio for the pond! then I splattered some water on top!
I spread out the grass and cattails that I fussy cut out around the scene, and then finished off the scene with the sentiment heat embossed in white on a soft pink!

I added a little Worn Lipstick to the edges of the Fancy Wavy Border die to tie it in with all the other ink blending on the card!
