Elphie Splash - Lawn Fawn

 Hello Crafty Friends! I am back with an entry for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #123 - Create a Scene! Nothing more fun than creating scenes with Lawn Fawn stamp sets. You can mix and match to your hearts content always knowing the images all work together seamlessly.

For todays card I used the mini set Elphie Selfie Flip-Flop for my main images, & Beary Rainey Day for the supporting images and sentiment. I couldn't resist making it a mini slimline too. 

I used distress oxide ink in Salvaged Patina and Hickory Smoke on some Bristol smooth cardstock. I then splattered the background with some Gansai Tambi starry watercolor in white gold for some texture and the appearance of rain. 

The sentiment I stamped using Versafine Onyx Black which I find is the darkest when stamping over oxide inks. While that dried I colored my images using copics. Once I glued on the clouds I took the single raindrop from the Beary Rainey Day set to stamp under the lower two using the same Salvaged Patina ink.

Copics Used: N4, N2, N0, C0; R00; BG13, BG11, BG10; G000, G00 (there is a Reel up on my Instagram/Tiktok @ CardsBySharna showing the coloring of the main images)

LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 109 - Fox

 Hello Crafty Friends! I am back with a new entry for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This one is about Autumn and my favorite thing to do in the fall is to go hiking and camping. This card was inspired by a wood cutting I saw of this mountain view. And I just had to add an old favorite of mine, the fox from Into The Woods! 

This card is mostly die cutting; I used Kraft, Bluejay, Moonstone, Merman, Choclate Bar, Cilantro & Noble Fir cardstocks from Lawn Fawn. The fox is colored with copics in YR68, YR18 & YR02.

Supplies:

Into The Woods

LF Cardstocks

Stitched Circle Stackables

Stitched Hillside Borders

Forest Backdrop

Scripty Thanks

LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 108 - Entry

 Hello Crafty Friends! I am entering the newest challenge (108) photo challenge for Lawn Fawnatics! Nothing like slipping in last minute. 

This image inspired the background on my card. I die cut a circle of masking paper and placed it on my white cardstock. I used distress oxide ink in cracked pistachio right around the moon and into that I blended in peacock feathers to the outer edge. It wasn't dark enough for me to go with the photo so I added some blueprint sketch very lightly to the edges. Lastly for the background I added some splatters with liquid stardust. I colored my die cut images with copics and added glossy accents to the candy for an extra detail.

Copics:

YR02, 04, 07; 14, 16, 18

G21, 24

BG10, 13

E11, 51, 000

BV01, 04, 0000

Supplies:

Stitched Hillside Background landscape

Scalloped Treat box  Haunted House add on

Costume Party Stamp set & dies

LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 102 – ALL THINGS OCEAN

 Hello Crafty friends! Today I am sharing a card to take part in the newest Lawn Fawn challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatic's blog. This challenge is All Things Ocean! 

So for my card today I used a bunch of stuff I had that were extras in a class I just took with Jenn Shurkus called "Mermazing". I highly recommend it. You can take it now even after its no longer live.

For the background we used distress Ink (not oxide) in Salvages Patina and Wilted Violet. This was an extra background I had after playing with the ink smooshing technique. I stamped a few fish and coral directly onto the background using the same inks. The ground I ink blended with Scattered Straw. I stamped the little sea you soon sentiment with Salvaged Patina Oxide since I knew it would layer right over that yellow ink due to the oxide properties.

The images are stamped on Bristol cardstock and colored using my Tombow markers. I wanted a change from my normal copics. I just loved how bright and fun they turned out. And of course "All the Glitter" for them. If you really want to get into glitter I highly recommend Jenn's classes. She has so many tips and tricks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Aw, Nuts! - Lawn Fawnatics Entry for #86

 Happy Sunday my crafty friends! I just snuck this entry for the new Lawn Fawnatics Halloween/Fall challenge in under the wire!  I didn't think Id make it to be honest. Its raining and icky out today and my lighting wasn't ideal. I try and use natural light when possible. 

I went with the fall side of this inspiration. I really wanted to use the new set Let's Go Nuts and was eager to make yet another slimline card. Seriously if you haven't made a slimline card yet, I highly recommend it! I love this unique size so much. 

For my background I tried to use a cloud stencil in a new way. I blended on my inks to make it look like fall leaves in the trees! I really hope that comes across as I wanted my squirrels looking like they were having a party high up in the treetops! For the branches I got out an older set, Joy to the Woods and used the trees as my branches. I love how there ends up being so much variety of widths. I also used the one leaf from Big Acorn too. 

Distress Oxide Inks: Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey & Fossilized Amber.

I again used my Copic markers to color in my sweet little images. I wanted a more neutral palette for the squirrels against those bright orange and yellows. I chose to use the warm greys. And the little brown acorns I did with the grey side of the browns as well. For the leaves I choose in colors closer to the background as accents. 

Copic Colors: W5, W3, W1; E44, E43, E40; Y38, Y35; YR21, YR31, YR30

That's everything! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Little One - Lawn Fawnatics Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends! These are my entry for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 77! I always am in need of baby cards so I took to the opportunity to make several.

For this I did simple watercolor backgrounds with distress oxide inks and very simple copic coloring. I stamped a part of each sentiment in the same color of ink so it coordinated. I used an older set tht needed some love to do all these cards. Its from 2014 release and is called Hello Baby.

Thanks for stopping by!!

LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 75 – SPECTACULAR SKIES

Hello Crafty Friends! I am back to participate in another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! This one is called spectacular skies. I got my influence directly from the card by Jenn Shurkus. I loved her little cloud scene.

So for my card I also chose to do a night sky but in some unexpected colors. I used Peacock Feathers, Faded Lilac and Wilted Violet (who else hopes one of the new Distress colors is another purple??) I then used some Liquid Stardust to splatter the ink blended panel.

I then die cut the bug puffy cloud to act as a landing spot for my sentiment instead of a banner. The other clouds I cut using the cloud frame dies so more of the background would show. Lastly I die cut the hugs die from a few layers of black cardstock. The final touch was a few star sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!!

LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 74 – CARD SKETCH

Hello Crafty Friends! I am joining in last minute to the Lawn Fawnatics challenge. Inspiration struck last night, around 9:30pm and I decided just to go with it. This is my take on the sketch shown below.

The background is one of my favorite patterns from the Hello Sunshine (remix) petite paper pad. In my head I was seeing the cow jumped over the moon so I grabbed a cow from the Hay There stamp set. The stars in my design is the smaller star in the Shooting Star die set.  I made a moon using the Stitched Circle Stackable dies. And some stickles glitter in diamond to add some sparkle. For the sentiment I took a Fancy Wavy Banner die and a Make a Wish from the Party Animal stamp set to finish it off. Oh and the stars and banner are all inked using Distress Oxide in Mustard Seed!

Thanks for stopping by!

If you want to participate (and there is a prize!) head over here to the link up! Or use the hashtag #getcrackingonchristmas on Instagram to participate.

My card today features some Lawn Fawn from Ho Ho Ho Holidays! I made a mini card for this month, perfect to slip into a gift bag. I will be honest and admit I use a lot of gift bags! I just hate wrapping.

I started with my background panel and inked the whole thing with a light coat of Distress Oxide ink in Faded Lilac and then very lightly added some Blueprint Sketch to the top. I die cut a simple stitched hillside border for the snow.

I then stamped and die cut the images from Ho Ho Ho Holidays & stamped the greeting on the background with black ink. I did some copic coloring on all the images and finished off Santa's hat with some glitter which I tried to get a photo of above. Its super sparklie with the Lawn Fawn glitter.

Copics:

Red R29, R27, R24 & R20

Thanks Owl Lot - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! I am taking part of the "For the Birds" Lawn Fawnatics challenge this week. This is my second entry. I didnt realize until this challenge just how many Lawn Fawn sets includes birds; a lot!



Another of my favorite Lawn Fawn paper pads was this fall one. I am REALLY hope they bring this one back too! A girl can dream right? The owls come from the So Owlsome stamp set along with the little branch. The Owls are outside of my normal favorite browns, I chose E74, E72 & E70 for the more purple undertone. I liked how it looked with the background paper the best. I thought the apples went with the whole apple tree theme. The sentiment is the Scripty Thanks die cut. And the smaller sentiment comes from the same So Owlesome stamp set that is white heat embossed on black carstock.

Fly Away with Me - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! I am taking part of the "For the Birds" Lawn Fawnatics challenge this week. I have two cards to share featuring some older much loved sets. I didnt realize until this challenge just how many Lawn Fawn sets includes birds; a lot!


No I didn't get an advanced set of papers, I still had my original paper pad! Its very loved and running super low so I was sooooooo excited to see it being re released coming in the Spring collection. I used the stitched circle stackables for the center panel using some merman carstock. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Hello Sunshine stamp set with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder. The clouds and little birds are also from the same set. I used Y35, Y13 & Y11 copics on the birds. I added some sparkle using the glitter pen to the solid cloud. I simply adore how this turned out.

It's a Tweet Day - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! Im here with card # 3 in my Snow Day Remix patterned paper mini series. I kept the layout pretty similar to the first card, just because I'm really loving all the layers. I got out an older favorite set of mine; It's a mini set, Winter Sparrows. I kept the coloring pretty sparrow like with the browns.

For the main focal panel I did a light bit of distress oxide ink blending in Pine Needles. I brought the blending about halfway up and let it fade off into white. I find it easier to ink up my blending brush and then dab a bit off onto my craft sheet to get the lighter edge. I then stamped the sentiment in black ink and the music notes in Festive Berries oxide ink.

For the copics I used R29, R27, & R24 for the hat and ear muffs, G02, G00 for the scarf and for the birds I used E44, E43 & E41 & their tummies I left white. A little Y35 for the beaks. Lastly I added a bit of Prisma Glitter to the edge of the branch. Because as Jenn says, glitter all the things (especially for Christmas).

Thanks for stopping by!

A little Retro - Lawn Fawn

I went a bit retro with today’s card... I am a crafty hoarder. I have paper from years of collecting and that’s after a major purge a few years ago. When this set and paper pack came out I absolutely adored it. So while discussing favorites with another craft friend I started digging through my stash and found this pack. I immediately had to use it. I know it’s a bit different from my normal but I plan to do more like this one soon. Break out those old papers and stamps, you might rediscover some favorites!

Gimme all the buffalo check! - Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 61

Hello crafty friends! Im here today with a super CAS card for the new Lawn Fawn challenge #61. I was directly inspired by our new fall decor. This new die from Lawn Fawn worked perfectly for my idea.

The background is the new Lawn Fawn carstock in rainforest. I splattered the cardstock with a little gold watercolor, die cut the pumpkin using some buffalo check paper I have been hoarding for years, and some green Lawn Fawn cardstock for the vine and leaf and a bit of black for the stem. The Thanks sentiment is die cut using Lawn Fawn's gold sparkle cardstock. (And now I need all the sparklie sentiments on everything!)

Trick or Treat - Lawn Fawn

Hello crafty friends! I am here with another entry to the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, Create a Scene. I used the same set with a trick or treat theme this time and a sunset glow in the air. Nothing better then trick or treating as a kid. I have so many fond memories! That's why I find this new set so appealing.

A Spooky Good Time! - Lawn Fawn

Hey hey crafty friends. Back again with another entry to the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. Who doesn't love a good scene right? I could resist this spooky new stamp set from Lawn Fawn so it was out of the package pretty much the day I got it. More where this came from!

The sky is inked with distress oxides in Shaded Lilac and Blueprint Sketch. The scene is copic colored. House was done with BG78, BG75 & BG72 I used all cool greys from C1-C7 for the roof and the grave yard. The pumpkins are Y38 & Y35 with a bit of YG61 for the leaves. Lastly the trees are E47, E44 & E43.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fun With Food - Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 50

Hey everyone, here with an entry for the Lawn Fawnatics 50th challenge! I love all of the fun food sets that Lawn Fawn comes out with but this little S'more is by far my favorite. S'mores are some of my favorite summertime foods. They remind me of all the fun times I spent camping.


**And I realize now I must have been channeling Jessica because I even used the same sentiment. Great minds and all that!!

I made a simple distress oxide ink blended background. I combined twisted citron with mermaid lagoon. I splattered the background with more of the same colors along with some copic opaque white. I die cut using a Lawn Fawn stitched circle. I curved a sentiment to go around the outside of the circle and stamped it in Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink. The S'mores are copic colored in various shades of brown. The crackers are in e30s, the marshmallows are e50's and the chocolate is e20's. I used a tiny enamle heart from Doodlebug.
