how much wood could a woodchuck chuck?

these beavers are so cute and totally have my heart!
and today they're also being featured on the Lawn Fawn blog, but guess what else? there's a bonus! I have a video for this card, too! you can check it out on my youtube channel, or click here!

love these guys!
I stamp the images from Wood You Be Mine and Toadally Awesome, then colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then sued the coordinating die cuts to die cut them out!

for the background, I die cut out the water from the Stitched Hillside Borders and then the grass from the Grassy Border! 

I also splattered the same colors onto the water. 

I finished the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto a vellum banner that was die cut with the Fancy Wavy Banners.

be sure to check out the card on the Lawn Fawn blog, and on my YouTube channel!
enjoy!

you're the zest

hi there!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
it's all about the current challenge - all the hearts! lol! love it!

what a fun challenge, right?
I hope you're able to play along!
I used the new You're the Zest and Giant Outlined: Love Ya products!
I stamped the lemons, as well as the leaves from Be Hap-pea. then I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

I added some white gel pen details to the images, too!
I die cut out the big love ya with white cardstock, and then used Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral and Tattered Rose. I backed the whole die cut with vellum for a soft feel!

I die cut out another card front with white cardstock using the Simple Stripes Diagonal. then I used Distress Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber. then I splattered some water, ink color and white acrylic ink on top!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a strip of pink cardstock and then popped up with foam tape.

be sure to check the card out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
enjoy!
