Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #219 - Family Matters

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

loving the idea of celebrating family members! lol!

so fun!!
I couldn't resist making another dinosaur card for Father's Day!

I started by stamping the images from Costume Party, Rawrsome, Rawr and Critters from the Past. then I colored them all with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

for the background, I die cut out the layers from white cardstock using both the Grassy Border and Stitched Hillside Borders. then I added color to each one by ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks in Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber.
I used Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon, Dried Marigold and Tattered Rose for the sky. then, once it was all ink blended, I used the Draped Ribbons Stencil and the same colors, but with more pressure to add the tone-on-tone look.

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice cardstock, and then trimmed into a strip.

 

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

enjoy!
