Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #154 - Into the Woods

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



yay! 


such a fun challenge and so many options are available!
I decided to make a mountain-themed card this time!

Adventure Awaits Card by Samantha Mann for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, Lawn Fawn, Distress Inks, Ink Blending, Card Making, Handmade Cards, Stencil, Die cutting, #lawnfawnatics #lawnfawn #distressinks #inkblending #cardmaking #handmadecards

I stamped and colored the images from Car Critters and Car Critters Road Trip Add-on with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! once everything was colored, I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
I thought adding that cute little bear from the back seat was the cutest touch!! ha!!

so cute right?!
I used Distress Inks in Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber and Walnut Stain for the mountains. and a little Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the tops! the mountains themselves were die cut from white cardstock with the Stitched Mountain Borders.

I also used Distress Inks to ink blend the road On the Road die cuts. which is the most fun die to add a road trip card!
I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers for the sky. then I used the Sunray Background Stencil and the same colors to add some light to the sky behind the mountains!

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

sympathy card

hello there!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog and it's something I don't usually do: sympathy cards!
I think those orchid images are so beautiful! this time I colored them in an orangey/peachy color.

I stamped the image 3 times from the Orchids stamp set and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
once they were dry, I splattered some white acrylic ink on top. and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

for the background, I used alcohol inks on yupo paper to create the background. I used a small amount of black, navy and silver!
