Fintastic Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #199

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this time we're embracing Summertime Fun! For my card, I pulled together some of my favorite under the sea sets, including Mermaid For You, Ocean Shell-fie, You Are Sublime, and Fintastic Friends. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I blended Distress Oxides onto a panel of Bristol, using Speckled Egg, Evergreen Bough, and Pine Needles for the water and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the sand, trimmed down with a Simple Stitched Hillside Border.

I stamped some greenery and tiny fish in the background with the Distress Oxides, and then added a sentiment in the top right corner in black ink. I adhered the background to a Lilac card base and then added my images to create the scene. I finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Birthday Roar Card

Hey friends, today I've got a fun, masculine birthday card to share using the adorable Mama Elephant The Wild Roar along with the beautiful banana tree from Everyday Monkeys. I just love jungle-themed sets, and this one is so darling! I colored everything with Copic markers and trimmed the images out with their matching dies.

For the background, I blended Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Ink onto a panel of Bristol that I trimmed down with the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I stamped an Essential Tag Sayings sentiment in the top right corner and glued that to a Noble Fir card base, then adhered my images.

Let's Shellebrate Card

Hey friends, today I have a beautiful underwater scene to share using the adorable Stamping Bella Tiny Townie Mermaid Isla. I adore this sweet mermaid, and she was so much fun to color! I combined her with images from Under the Sea Creatures, masking off to create a one-layer scene, then colored it in, background and all, with Copic markers.

When it was done, I trimmed down the focal panel with the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables to give it that nice finished edge and glued that to a Hyacinth card base. I added a greeting from the Mermazing Sentiment Set on an Everyday Sentiment Banner and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.
