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!

Its a bug time - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty friends! Im here with two Lawn Fawn Bug Deal cards today. I had made the Feel Better card just before everything hit the fan and I was debating if I show share it or not. But well, some of us still need get well cards! So here it is. The second card I thought worked well for a variety of occasions so I left the second part of the sentiment off until I know when I give the card!

The ink blended backgrounds are done with distress oxides. I picked ones that best matched the pattern paper. The purple is Milled Lavender and the green is Shabby Shutters. Neither is a color I used to often but I really like the soft feel. The Feel Better sentiment in the first card is also with the Milled Lavender with a bit of Wilted Violet for an ombre feel.

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.

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.

Get Cracking on Christmas - with Jenn Shurkus

My good friend Jenn Shurkus (Shurkus.com) has been doing the Get Cracking series for several years now. This is the start of year 3! Each month on the third Thursday she will be posting new inspiration and hopefully encourage you to get Cracking on Christmas!

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 older Lawn Fawn; Thanks a Latte & Milo's ABCs along with a stitched circle stackable die. I really tried hard to capture that Rae Dunn look on the mugs. Ha! I really hope you like them.

I used a bit of pattern paper that has been hiding in my stash. For the circle I ink blended around the edges with some Tumbled Glass distress oxide. I stamped the mugs with Lawn Fawns River Rock ink which is a copic friendly grey color. I did some shading around the edges of both mugs in C5 & C3 copics. The candy canes are in R29, R27 & R24 and the snowflakes just a hint of B0000.

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!

Santa & Mrs. Claus - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! I have started a bit of a mini series with some Lawn Fawn cards for Christmas featuring a bunch of pattern paper from the Snow Day paper collection. I actually had some of the 6x6 original pads of paper and since they just released the remix I decided to get them out to play! So onto my first card featuring these papers.

The two papers in this card can be found in the Snow Day remix pack as well as the original. I cut the bottom layer at a full A2 size with a paper trimmer. The Green "Earmuffs" paper I die cut using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle as well as a piece of plain white cardstock in the next size down. I love how these dies make layering so easy! 

The plain cardstock layer I ink blended using distress oxide ink in Festive Berries about 2/3rds of the way up. The top edge I used some snowflakes from various Lawn Fawn sets and stamped them in distress oxide in the color Pumice Stone. I white heat embossed  the sentiment which is from the Holiday Helpers stamp set. The main images are from the new Ho Ho Holidays set. I used copic markers to color them in. The faces are E11, E00, E000;  the reds are R29, R27, R24; And last the greys are N8, N6, N4 & W3, W1 and a bit of Y35 for the belt buckle.
