Magical Xmas - Lawn Fawn

 Hello Crafty Friends, Happy Friday! I’m here with my entry for the Lawn Fawnactics Challenge #137 Holiday Critters! I went a little non traditional with this one! 

A demo reel for each showing both the background and the image coloring is available on my Insta if you are interested! 

I used Prize Ribbon distress oxide with the Lawn Fawn Slimline Cloud stencil for the background. With a little peacock feathers distress oxide for the sentiment letters. I loved Jenn’s chunky glittered sentiments so I decided to try it and it’s sooooo sparkly, I love! I also added it to the stars as well. 

Copics: BG13, BG11, BG10, Y13, Y00, R00, R20, B66, B63, B60, E51, E50

Supplies:
How You Bean star add on 
Henry’s ABCs
Winter Unicorn
All the clouds 
A little sparkle 
Merry Mice
Slimline Cloud Stencil 

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 #120 Entry

 Hello Crafty Friends! I am back this month with another entry for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #120. This one is all things Birthday so I couldn't resist. 

For the background I inked the entire card with the new Saltwater Taffy distress oxide ink. Its such a gorgeous color! I then took the longer strawberry field stamp from the Berry Special set and stamped it in Abandoned Coral. For the mice I copic colored them with N5, N3 & N0. I used the N5 very sparingly in just a few places because I wanted them to be fairly light. The strawberries and overalls I did in R29, R35, R22 & R20. The sign is colored with E37, E35 & E31. I then inked another paper with those same copics and that's what I used to die cut my big sentiment. Once die cut I covered it with the new Sparkle Glaze.   I stamped the rest of the sentiment in more black ink before adding Sweet to a wavy Banner and popping it up in the middle with foam tape.                      

Thanks so much for stopping by!

LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 119 ENTRY – CARD SKETCH

 Hello Crafty Friends! I am back with a new entry for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. Again slipping in close to the wire. I had the idea in my mind but life gets crazy with balancing all the things that need to get done in a week. 

The background paper is the perfectly plaid remix, Nancy! I then die cut the images from Strawberry Patch from Bristol paper so I could do some ink blending. I used distress oxide ink in Worn Lipstick, Festive berries and Cracked pistachio. For the bee hes from the Bee Mine mini set, isnt he so cute? Lastly the sentiment is from How you Bean? Strawberries add on.  

Thanks for stopping by!

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.

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!

Rainbow Wishes - Lawn Fawn

Lawn Fawn is celebrating 10 years! That's a big accomplishment and deserves a big congrats! Their stamps have brought me so much joy over the years. So Happy Birthday Fawnies!

For today's card I am featuring the new Dandy Day patterned paper & stamp set. I also used Cole's ABCs for the sentiment. I really like the grey background with a pop of rainbow!

I die cut the words out of plain white cardstock so as not to waste a bunch of paper. & then did some Ombre ink blending with distress inks to match the rainbow colors in the paper. If you look close the paper has little dots in all sorts of colors. I then did some simple copic coloring on the mouse so he could be blowing on his Dandelion.

Bring it Back - Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 71

Hello Crafty Friends! Today's post is for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! If you love Lawn Fawn you should definitely play along. This months challenge is to Bring it Back; use an older craft product, stamp set, embellishment etc. Today I used an older set, an older technique and an older embellishment!

My card features the older stamp set Blue Skies; one of my favorites that came out in 2013. I did a watercolor wash technique for the background that I hadn't practiced in a while and I love how it turned out. And of course some rainbow hot air balloons because who can resist rainbowing all the things right? For my older embellishment I chose some diamond stickles. I forgot how much I love the sparkle. Thanks to Christy Gets Crafty for the reminder on how great Stickles is still.

Hello Baby - Lawn Fawn

Hello Craft Friends! I got a last minute card made for the Lawn Fawnatics Challege # 70. I loved the watercolor hearts of the inspiration image and decided to make a baby card since I am quickly running out of those!





I used some of Prima's Vintage Pastels watercolor palette to watercolor some distress watercolor paper in various blocks of color. I wanted a soft pastel rainbow and thought these made a perfect baby card. I then die cut the panel using Lawn Fawn's stitched heart stackables. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby stamp set.

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.

Dino Christmas! - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I have another Christmas card. It was inspired by some Dinosaur gift wrapping I got at Target for my son. I just loved all the little Dino's dressed up for the holidays!




The background of the card was made using distress oxide inks in Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch which is a bit of a different combo for me but I love how it turned out!

The Dino's are from Rawsome and the tree is from Critters from the Past. The accessories are from several sets; the hat, scarf and bow are from Baaah Humbug, & the bone and lights are from Happy Howlidays (which sadly is not available, it was a Stamptember exclusive).

This is a copic heavy card so I wont be listing all the colors today but if there is a particular combo you are interested in, please ask in the comments and I will respond.

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!

Warm Hearts - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! For card number two in my Lawn Fawn patterned paper mini series I have done an all paper card with no stamping! I had originally made this one for the Lawn Fawnattics die challenge but with the craziness of the holidays I didn't get it finished in time.

I just could not resist this bunny paper and was trying different things with it but really wanted it to shine. I had cut the second paper with the sentiment already printed on it to use as the next layer. So I dug through my stash of dies and found the Outside In Stitch Christmas Tree stackables and the second largest tree was perfect and simple. It really lets the papers take center stage. I decided to make a small shaker and used some Sparkling Clear Sequin mix inside. All of the paper on this card can found in the Snow Day Remix collection.

Thanks for Stopping by!
