thank you so moth!

hello!
I hope you're all having a great day!
today I have a FUN and interactive card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and bonus fun, I made a video for this card! 
you can check it out here or up on my youtube channel!

so fun, right?
I started by stamping the images from I Like Cute Moths. then I watercolored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once all of the images were dry I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. pink and purple and coral moths? what's not to love! lol

for the actual card, I used the Ta-Da! Diorama! dies to die cut out the pieces from white cardstock. I also used the base of the card and some Let It Shine Starry Skies beige and gold cardstock. I did lots of ink blending on the white cardstock panels. I wanted to create the look from light in the back of the card to darker in the front!
I used Antique Linen, Dried Marigold, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord. I really love the look of beige to purple, especially for fall! 
then I splattered some tiny stars with white acrylic ink and Liquid Stardust onto all of the panels. 

I also ink blended the same colors for the hills of the card. 
oh! and I forgot to mention, I also used one of the dens for the opening of the card from Stitched Dens. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. then I die cut it out with the middle banner from the Stitched Sentiment Banners. 
then I sprinkled those little yellow stars all of the outside and inside of the card!

I added the entire thing to another piece of cardstock from the Let It Shine Starry Skies cardstock to finish it off.
be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog and watch the video too!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #228 - Woodland Wonder

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

any excuse to use a Lawn Fawn critter is a win for me!

here we go!
I decided to go with a lot of pops of color!

I started by stamping the images from To My Fungi, Oh Gnome!, Let's Go Nuts and A Bug Deal. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor in the images! once the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I love how the green leaves and pink and red mushrooms really pop with the neutral background and squirrels!

for the background, I used the Birch Tree Stencils and Distress Oxide Inks in Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. then I used the Bee Happy Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add a windy looking texture to the fall scene!

I attached all of the images directly to the card. but I did use foam tape to pop up the squirrel images and the sentiment! the sentiment is also from Oh Gnome! and was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. then i trimmed it down into a small banner.

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

enjoy!

thank you cherry much!

hello!
today I have a fun card up on the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about fun with food - and I had a BLAST making this card!

I started by stamping the images from Be Hap-pea and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. but instead of coloring them green to be peas (as intended), I colored them in warm reds to be cherries!! so fun! once the images were dry, I used a white gel pen to add some extra details and then die cut them out.

I also stamped a bunch of balloon strings from the Really High Five stamp set and die cut them out, to be the cherry stems! I thought that was a fun idea to try out!
I used Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the background. I ink blended the colors with the darkest shade on the outside and lightest in the middle. then I used the same ink colors and added some of the it with watercolor and a piece of clear packaging to get the watercolored look. and once it was dry, I went over it all again with ink blending to get the super saturated look!

to create the sentiment, I die cut out the 'cherry' letters using Henry's ABC's and some Peach Cardstock, then used a little Abandoned Coral Distress Ink to add some ombre colors.
the rest of the sentiment was stamp and heat embossed in white from the Fairy Friends stamp set. the letters and the sentiment strips were popped up with foam tape and everything else was attached directly to the card.

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

thanks bunches and bunches and bunches and...

hello!
today I have this fun, floral card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I just love these bright colors, and beautiful flowers!
so fun, right?
I stamped the images from Newton’s Blooms Stamp Set and Dainty Daisies Stamp Set and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I really wanted to make the card POP with all of the flowers! I added some details with a white gel pen. once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

for the background, I used some white cardstock and did some ink blending with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. I also die cut out the frame using the Card Layout 3 Die Set from white cardstock. I popped it up with foam tape, and then placed the images on top!

I finished off the card by adding a few sequins to the flowers. I also heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock, and then trimmed it into a banner shape. the sentiment itself is also from the Dainty Daisies Stamp Set.

be sure to check this card out on the Newton's Nook blog, too!
enjoy!

happy Monday!

I just recently realized that I have a low amount of Thank You cards, so this is the perfect challenge for me! I can't wait to be inspired by all of the entries!

this is such a fun challenge!

I started by stamping the images from Critters in the Jungle and Critters in the Desert. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added some details with a white gel pen. once eveyrthing was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the background, I used the Flippin' Awesome Add-on and lots of ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks. I used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose for the sky. I used Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the ground.

the snakes were popped up with foam tape. and everything else was attached directly to the card.

I die cut the sentiment using the Henry's ABCs from Fog Cardstock. then I used the Basket Weave stencil and some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to add a little scale-y texture!

hello all!
I can't believe May is flying by!
today I have this fun, happy and bright thank you card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

the current challenge is all about using your die cuts only!
so I created a fun, thank you card! I recently realized I need more thank you cards in my life, and this was the perfect time to make one!

I used the Mr Sun and Stitched Rainbow dies for this card! the fun images were die cut from white cardstock and then I used Distress Inks to add the fun ink blended color! I used Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade for the sun. and for the rainbow, I used the same yellows along with Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy, Ripe Persimmon, Dried Marigold, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. I also used Lost Shadow for the clouds.

the card front is a piece of Lilac Cardstock. and for the sentiment, I die cut out the letters with Oliver's Stitched ABCs from grey cardstock. then I used Black Soot and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks to add the ombre look.

this was so fun, and it's so happy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #221 - Dies Only

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

I love the idea of setting the stamps aside and using die cuts only!

so fun!!
I realized recently that I need some more Thank You cards in my stash - so this was the perfect time to get inky and make some thank you cards!

I used the Plant-a-Succulent dies, and I die cut my little heart out!
I used a piece of patterned paper from the Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pack and die cut out the leafy vines many, many times! then I used Distress Inks in Pine Needles and Mowed Lawn to add some dimension to the leaves.

I die cut out the flower images from the same set and used Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy and Dried Marigold to ink blend the colors there, too.

then I used the Oliver's Stitched ABCs die set and die cut out the sentiment from grey cardstock. then I used Black Soot and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks to add color in an ombre fashion. I added foam tape to the sentiment and then popped it up on the card front.

I finished the card off by splattering white acrylic ink on top.

 

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