you're stu-panda-s!

hello!
today I'm super excited to share this fun card that's up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about critters in the wild! and this card fits perfectly!

I love it!
I started by stamping the images from I Heart Pandas and I Heart Pandas Add-On. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in. once they were all dry, I used a white gel pen to add some whimsical details to the images. so fun!

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron on white cardstock. then i die cut it out with the Bamboo Forest Backdrop: Landscape. I used more Distress Oxide Inks in Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for the background. I love the contrast of the purples and greens.

I heat embossed the custom sentiment in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock using Harold's ABCs. then I die cut it out with a banner from the Stitched Sentiment Banners. I love that panda-pun!

be sure to check out the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and play along!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #225 - Let's Go Wild

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

any excuse to play with some Lawn Fawn critters is a good excuse!

so fun!!
I haven't made a card with these cute froggos in a while, so I decided to color them up!

I started by stamping the images from Toadally Awesome and All the Grasses. then I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added some details with a white gel pen. then once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

I did lots of ink blending for the background! 

first, I used the Stitched Pond and die cut out the shape from some white cardstock.  I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. then I added some foam tape behind them to pop them up.
I used Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina for the pond itself.

then, I finished by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock. I popped it up with foam tape, as well as the frog in the pond and the lily pad flowers.
so sweet!

I just love making holiday cards in the summer! it's a great way to escape the heat for a few moments! lol!

I started by stamping the images from Highland Cows!, All the Grasses, and Cozy Cats. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in. I added some details with a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

for the background, I die cut out a bunch of ground using the Grassy Border and Stitched Hillside Borders then I added colors with Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. then I splattered all over the background with white acrylic ink to mimic snowfalling. then I wanted to also add some texture, so I used some white embossing paste and the Snowflakes stencil for a little whimsical snow, too!

I added the winter apparel to the cute cows and then popped them up with foam tape.
the sentiment was partially die cut with Henry's ABCs from Black Licorice Cardstock, and then heat embossed in white with the sentiment from Cozy Cats Christmas Add-on.
