big butterfly wishes!

Hi and happy Saturday!
Today I am happy to share this card up on the Lawn Fawn blog featuring some older and brand new products!
And bonus: I even have a video to go along with it!  You can check it out here or on my youtube channel!

I started by stamping the images from A Bug Deal and I Like Big Butterflies. Then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in.  I added some details with a white gel pen to add some extra whimsy, and then once everything was dry I die cut the images out with their coordinating dies.

I actually stamped all of the butterfly images because I couldn't help myself; they're so cute! Alas, there was 1 of the images that didn't make it on this card, but I'm saving it for another card in the future! Don't worry!

I die cut out the front of the card from white cardstock with the Reveal Wheel die set. Then I used the Woodgrain Stencil and Distress Inks in Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Fossilized Amber.  When I took the stencil off, I used the same colors, but with a little less pressure - and I love that tone-on-tone look!
I also used the same colors for the actual wheel of the card, so it looks similar to the rest of the background.
I used some Mermaid Cardstock with a tiny bit of Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon along the edges, too!

Once  the Reveal Wheel mechanism was created and put together with foam tape, I started to add all of the images to the card.
I love that it looks like the butterflies are frolicking in a forest! So cute!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then die cut it out with the Stitched Sentiment Banner dies.
And to finish off the card, I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the tiny arrow along the wheel on the card, too! 

Be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and to watch the video, too!
Enjoy!

rainbows and glitter!

hello and happy wedensday!
today I have this sweet card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about rainbows, so...enter Sam!! ha!

I love this card!
I used the rainbow theme literally, obviously! but I kept the actual colors warm and bright! I wanted to use the rainbows, but in a twist! love how it came out!
I stamped the images from All the Clouds and My Rainbow. I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added some details with a white gel pen. I also splattered the cloud images with white acrylic ink! once it was all dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy and Dried Marigold.
the blend is gorgeous!!!! I wanted to echo the colors from the rainbows that I colored, and I LOVE how the background came out.

the sentiment was created by heat embossing the phrases from Unicorn Picnic in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. once it was cooled, I fussy cut it out and then popped it up with foam tape.
I also finished off the card with a sprinkling of sequin stars! it adds the perfect amount of whimsy!

be sure to check the card out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog! and play along with your favorite rainbows!
enjoy!

I die cut out a piece of light grey cardstock with the Basic Frames Die Set, and then placed that on top of a piece of whit cardstock. that white cardstock was then die cut with the Frames & Tags die set.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #215 - All Things Rainbow

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

welcome to one of my favorite challenges ever!!
rainbows!!

this challenge has something for everyone!
because rainbows always make everything better!

so fun!
I stamped the jar from How You Bean? onto acetate and heat embossed it in black.
the jar lid was stamped and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, like usual! lol
I also added some details to the lid wit a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut everything out! 

for the background, I used some beautiful Fog Cardstock. I used white embossing paste and the Stratus Clouds Background Stencils to add some fun texture (I also added some of the same texture with the same stencil to the top of the images, but not until later in the process! lol)
I die cut out the clouds in white cardstock on the bottom of the card with the Puffy Cloud Borders.

I used the Corner Rainbow Stencils and ink blended them with various Distress Inks to make it in the traditional rainbow colors!
I used some clear, glitter embossing paste and smeared it all around the top of the rainbow! once it was dry, I fussy cut it out and added foam tape to pop it up!

the sentiment is from Rain or Shine Before 'n Afters and was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then cut into strips. I also popped them up for some height towards the top of the card.
I thought about adding some sequins, but decided against it for this card - the sparkle on the rainbow is REALLY noticeable in real life, and I didn't want to be too extra! lol

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

enjoy!
