Honk If It's Your Bday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #203

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge , and this time we're having Fun with Food! I am absolutely loving the new Silly Goose! stamp set from Lawn Fawn, so I knew I had to start this card there. I brought in images from Swan Soiree, Toadally Awesome, Beary Rainy Day, and the Tea-rrific Day Add-on, colored them all with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To set the stage for my little scene, I brought in the Riverside Backdrop: Portrait. I die cut it out of Bristol Cardstock and then used Distress Oxide Inks to add color. For the sky, I used Salvaged Patina with the Cloudy Stencil and stamped a sentiment in the top right. For the river, I used Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers, and for the grass, Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness.

I adhered the backdrop to a Mermaid card base. Then it was time to start arranging my images. I laid things out a bit to figure out the best balance and then glued them all down with liquid glue. And then, of course, I had to finish the card off with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Trying Amazon Alcohol Markers

 Hey friends, I'm back with another video in my Alcohol Marker Comparison Deep Dive Series. Today I'm trying out a 48 count set from Amazon. So a better range of markers should equal a better set of markers, right? Not necessarily. Again, I'll be making swatches of all of these markers and coloring a few images to showcase their abilities. Check out the video tutorial below to see what you think!

You're A Treasure - Lawn Fawnatics #202

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this time we've got a Color Inspiration photo to inspire you. This palette was definitely giving me tropical vibes, so I decided to do a mermaid scene with a pirate treasure twist, combining images from Mermaid For You, Ahoy, Matey, Fintastic Friends, Critters From the Past, Flamingo Together, and Manatee-rific. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I started by blending Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon, and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Ink onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. Then I die cut the Riverside Backdrop: Landscape out of another piece of Bristol, and blended on Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs, splattering it with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors to give it a sandy texture and a bit of gold shine. I used the Ocean Wave Accents to cut waves into the water and adhered these two pieces together.

I stamped a sentiment in the center of the sky, then glued all of my images into the scene with liquid glue. Once I had it filled in nicely, I adhered the focal panel to a Speckled Eggshell card base and added a Stitched Rectangle Frame of Apricot Cardstock and finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles.
