Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #184 - Holiday Inspiration Board

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

this new holiday inspiration board is sooooo adorable!

 

I looooove these deep, dark greens with the bold, bright yellow and pink! so fun!
I decided to make a warm and cozy scene around the fire with my FAVORITE fireplace set!

so fun, right?
I stamped the images from Cozy Christmas and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen, too.
and I couldn't resist adding a pinch of Chunky Glitter along the flames of the fire!

for the background, I used Uncharted Mariner, Pine Needles and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend the packground. and I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't have tried those colors together if it weren't for this challenge, and now I'm obsessed with the color combo!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white and then ink blended in the same colors as the Scripty Wishes Die Set.

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

enjoy!

let's get lit!

hello and hi!
today I have a festive card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

it's so fun and festive, and I tried something new for me - no rainbow! lol!
I still like how it came out though - maybe more elegant or classic? a girl can hope!

I stamped the images from Holiday Lights and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I added glitter with Star Dust Stickles! once it was all dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

I die cut out the pine die from Pines & Holly a bunch, and then ink blended them with Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.
I used Distress Inks in the same colors to ink blend along the top/bottom and one side of the card. then I placed the pine images all around the ink blended area on the card. once it was all adhered, I splattered around with the same ink colors and then also white acrylic ink.

then I added foam tape to all of the lights and placed them around, in and tucked under some of the pine pieces so it would look like the lights were on a christmas tree!!

hopefully you like it and it made you think twice about those 2 small products!!
be sure to check them out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #153 - Christmas in July

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

yay!

 

 

Christmas in July is so fun!!!
I had a blast making my summer themed-Christmas cards! lol

 

 

I imagined up a life where Santa fell in love with Mrs Claus...a mermaid!! and the reindeer in the floaty has my heart! lol!
I stamped and colored the images from Pool Party, Beachy Christmas, Mermaid for You and Ho-Ho-Holidays.

I used Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the sand shore. then I used white acrylic ink and brown inks to add a sandy texture! then I used Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon for the ocean, then also did some ink smooshing of the same colors to give that watery vibe! the waves were die cut with the Stiched Wave Borders

 

finally, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and then popped it up with foam tape.
I also added some chunky glitter to the mermaid tail, floaty and beach toys! because...it's Christmas!! ha!

 

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

enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 119 - Sketch

happy Monday!

let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
and this is the last one of the YEAR!!! eeeeep!

yay!

 

 

oh there is so much inspiration to be found here!!

I stamped and colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
I used images from Unicorn Picnic, A Little Sparkle and All the Clouds. I also used the adorable heart balloon from Scent with Love Add-on!

I added some sparkle to the card with the glitter on the unicorn horn and balloon! so fun!

for the background, I ink blended from the side using Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina. I splattered some water on top, and then used White Embossing Paste with the Starry Sky Stencil.

the clouds were sprinkled around the background to mimic the circles in the sketch! and the long cloud was too perfect to use as the banner in the sketch!
to finish the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in black, towards the bottom of the card!

 

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

enjoy!
