Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #6 - Cheerful Get Well!

**this is my 2nd post of the day! to see my card for the latest Inky Paws Challenge card, scroll down or click here!**

yahooo! it's time for a NEW challenge on the block!!! and it's all about LAWN FAWN!!!!!

i'm still SO excited about this newest challenge on the block! SO SO SO excited!
this challenge is AMAZING!!! 

yay!!i really had SO much fun making this card, it seems like someone in my family has been sick on and off since Easter - we're looking for some relief! ha! so this theme is right up our alley! :)

i stamped the images from Get Well Soon and On the Mend in a the Manatee Ink onto a piece of white cardstock! then i added some shading with various Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in grays!

The 'cheerful' part of this get well card comes with the rainbow watercolor! I simply scribbled various rainbow colors (one at a time!) onto a piece of plastic packaging, and then smooshed it onto my white cardstock! I waited for the watercolors to dry, and added more color on top 2 or 3 times! love that watercolored look! 

lastly, i cut the grey images cardstock on a diagonal and layered it on top of my watercolor panel. heat embossed the sentiment and popped it up on some black cardstock!

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

i made another set of cards for this challenge, and i just LOVE how they came out!
I combined the Happy Little Thoughts stamp and Die set with Winston's Honeybees!! so cute! and a little glitter on the wings never hurt anyone, right?! ha! 

i used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color in all of the images and then die cut out the wreaths, and fussy cut out the bees!! I used foam tape to pop up the bees! for some fun and texture, i used white embossing paste and a striped stencil! LOVE what this adds to the cards!

enjoy!

Newton's Nook Designs and Studio Katia Blog Hop!

hello!!

What an amazing day!
Welcome to the Summer Fun Collaboration Blog hop with Newton's Nook Designs and Studio Katia! Both teams are celebrating the start of summer with fun and colorful cards using stamps from Newton's Nook Designs and dies and embellishments from Studio Katia. There's prizes too! Both companies have a prize to give away too so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

I created TWO cards for this AWESOME hop using various Newton's Nook and Studio Katia products! :)

My first card is a little ocean scene! :)

I started by stamped and coloring my images from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! :)
I fussy cut out the images, once they were all set. I die cut a bunch of layers from white cardstock using the Land Borders and Sky Borders dies to create 'waves!' then I did some Distress Ink blending on them in Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch! 

I cut out a speech bubble shape using the Stitched Duo Speech Bubble die and then used Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks to add color behind the window! I finished off the card with some 
clear round drops - perfect for a water scene card, I think! 

My 2nd card uses a similar color palette!

I colored directly onto my Pineapple Delight stamps with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then die cut them out! I used the sunglasses from Newton's Summer Vacation (again!!) to jazz up the cute pineapple!! LOVE it! Ha!!!

The sentiment is from Dog Days of Summer, and I heat embossed it right onto the speech bubble cut out! I topped this card off with some Vintage Sheer Sequins mix - LOOOOOVE the sparkle those little guys add to the summery card! 

We are giving away TWO prizes - one prize pack from Studio Katia and one $25 store credit from Newton's Nook Designs!
