Sharing on the Lawn Fawn blog today!

Hi there!  Today, I am SO SO SO excited to be sharing a few projects on the Lawn Fawn blog!  In addition to the halloween tags that I shared here, I also made a card to share!

If you've visited my blog before, it's no secret that I love Lawn Fawn and I love watercolor.  More than just a little.  Obsessed is a good word.  So on this card, I combined the two! :) I used distress inks to create this ombre striped background (a technique that I learned in the newest Online Card Class).  When it was dry, I diecut the watercolor piece with the largest die from the Small Stitched Rectangles die set.  Then, using the Stitched Snowflakes dies and the new Mini Snowflakes dies, I cut a bunch from white card stock.  I adhered some with foam tape, and others with a glue pen.  I stamped a sentiment from the Snow Day stamp set (I just love the sentiment and the font!!), and added a few sequins for sparkle before adhering the panel to a white card base.  I am SO excited to see smaller snowflakes to go with the large set!  I think these two die sets pair beautifully together, and I think they are definitely going to get a workout this winter *wink* :)

Merry and Bright

Lawnscaping Challenge #114 - One Layer

Hello there!  It's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!  Challenge #114 is a one layer card challenge!


We are sponsored this week by the super fabulous Lawn Fawn!



One layer cards are hard for me.  HARD.  Foam tape is my BFF.  So this Lawnscaping Challenge was just that.  A challenge.  But I had fun with this one, and I am pleased with how it turned out.  I started off by stamping the witch hat from the Booyah stamp set, masked it off, stamped the ghost, masked that off and stamped the broom.  I stamped the end of the broom handle on the right side of the ghost too to make the handle appear as if it's reaching all the way behind the ghost.  I stamped the speech bubble and masked that off too, and added the little hanging spider.  Then I used the star dies from the Stitched Journaling Card die set to diecut a post-it note.  I used the little star diecuts as masks, and then used Dusty Concord, Hickory Smoke and Blueprint Sketch distress inks to sponge a night sky.  I removed the tiny star masks which showed the white cardstock underneath, and outlined those with my Sakura Stardust pen.  I removed the rest of the masks and colored the ghost with my Copic makers, then I stamped more tiny stars with the Blueprint Sketch ink.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment, also from the Booyah stamp set.


One Layer Halloween

That's all for me... be sure to check out the blog for all of the challenge details and to get lots more inspiration from the design team!  I hope you'll play along for a chance to win some new Lawn Fawn!

Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge - Anything Goes!


Hey there!  It's time for another Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge, and this week, anything goes!


My obsession with watercolor continues.  I pulled out my new Spreading Sunshine stamp set because I want to send some sunshine to a friend's mailbox.  I started off by watercoloring a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper with my Artist's Loft watercolors from Michaels.  Then, in the bottom right corner, I stamped a sentiment from Spreading Sunshine.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut a bunch of the clouds from the same stamp set, and then using the Tiny Hearts die, I cut the largest heart from red cardstock, glittered it with Wink of Stella and coated it with some Glossy Accents before popping it us with some foam tape.  The entire panel is popped up with foam tape and there is a strip of patterend paper peeking out from the left side.


Focus on the sun

That's all for me today...

Reverse Confetti SFYTT!

Hi there!  Today I wanted to share a card that I just finished up for the Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try!  Here is the September sketch:


And here is my card!  I LOVE all of the Reverse Confetti animals and I have been wishing for a cat set for a long time.  I was so excited to see Too Cute To Spook!  I also used the Diagonal Stripe Pretty Panels on my card too.  I watercolored the background with Twisted Citron Distress Ink and then used some Lawn Fawn patterned paper to ground things a bit.  Finally I finished things off with some Pretty Pink Posh Peridot Mist iridescent sequins.
