Harvest Thanks Card - Lawn Fawnatics #205

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this one is all about Awesome Autumn! I combined so many images on this card to create a happy little harvest scene, including Pick of the Patch, Spring Basket Add-on: Fall, Treat Cart, Treat Cart Add-on: Coffee, Apple-solutely Awesome, Porcu-pine for You, Happy Harvest, and the Yappy Birthday Add-on. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I started with a piece of Bristol and blended on some Distress Oxide Inks. I used Shaded Lilac and Speckled Egg with the Cloudy Stencil for the sky and Rustic Wilderness and Bundled Sage with the Slimline Grassy Stencil for the ground. I stamped a sentiment in black ink in the top left corner.

I glued the background to a Lilac card base and adhered my images with liquid glue, making it nice and full of fun little details. Then I added a Stitched Rectangle Frame in Hyacinth to pull in the colors of the treat cart and add a nice pop. And of course, I finished things off with a bit of Stardust Stickles on the apples.

Let's Go Nuts Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #204

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge , and this one is a Woodland Wonder! I decided to go with my favorite of all the woodland critters, the red squirrel! And I made this an interactive card for some extra fun. I combined images from Let's Go Nuts, Spring Basket Add-on: Fall, and All the Speech Bubbles, colored them all with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To make this card interactive, I brought in the brand-new Knock, Knock, Who's There die and created the mechanism with Bristol Cardstock. I turned that into the background by using the Cloudy Stencil with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for the sky, and the Slimline Grassy Stencil with Shabby Shutters and Rustic Wilderness for the grass. 

Then I die cut the trunk of the Knock, Knock, Who's There Tree Add-on out of Light Brown Woodgrain Cardstock and blended on Vintage Photo to enhance the edges. I cut the tree top from Fake Tan Cardstock and added leaves using the Autumn Breeze Stencil with Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire, Festive Berries, and Aged Mahogany. Once I had all the elements ready to go, it was time to add in all the details! Always the most fun part. And I finished it off with a little Stardust Stickles.

Interactive cards are always so much easier to showcase on video, so if you'd like to see how this card came together, check out the tutorial by clicking the thumbnail below, or find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.
