Literally the Best Card - Lawn Fawnatics #194

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this is a fun one: Critters & Hobbies! I decided to create a scene showcasing my favorite animal, the red squirrel, doing my favorite hobby, reading! For this one, I combined images from Little Woodland Library, the Little Woodland Library Add-on, Let's Go Nuts, Crazy Antics, and Heart Tree. I stamped them in Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For my focal panel, I first trimmed down a piece of Bristol Cardstock with the largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables. Then, I used the Cloudy Stencil and some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to create the sky. For the ground, I used the Slimline Grassy Stencil with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink. I also did some splatter detail for some extra interest. 

I stamped a sentiment in the top left corner, then glued the focal panel to a Moonstone card base and began arranging my scene. I adhered everything with liquid glue to keep this card nice and flat for mailing. Once I had everything how I'd envisioned it, I finished off with a touch of Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside, which you can check out in the video.

Post Office Pile Up Card

Hey friends, today I'm sharing a card design I've had in the back of my mind for a while now. This one combines the pups in packages image from Mama Elephant's Little Line Agenda with the giant pile of envelopes from Jump for Joy and an extra pup from Snow Friends. When placed strategically, his scarf ends up looking like a collar! Just another way to stretch your stamps.

I colored these images with Copic markers to match some patterned paper from the Pebbles Sunny Blooms 6x8 pad, then trimmed them out with the matching dies. I used the Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables to cut out the focal panel and stamped a sentiment in the top right corner. Then I popped that up with foam tape over the rest of the papers and adhered my images. I finished with a sprinkle of clear sequins and some Stardust Stickles.
