Card Making Marathon - Making As Many Cards As I Can With Pre-colored Images

 Hey friends, today I'm sharing the results of a Mini Cardmaking Marathon I did last week. I challenged myself to create as many cards as I could using only pre-colored images from the dish that I keep on my desk. I'm not a super fast crafter, and it usually takes me all day to make a single card. But since the coloring was already done, I was curious to see how many I could do. I ended up making three cards and I filmed the entire process. So come join me and see how I made three cards in a day!

Highland Autumn Card - Lawn Fawnatics #226

Hey friends! It's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this one is an Inspiration Board with a Fall/Back to School theme. I chose to go for the cozy Fall vibes with a bit of a feminine flair. Lots of pink mixed in with the more traditional seasonal shades.

The star of the show here is one of the adorable Highland Cows!, but I also pulled in accessory images from several favorite Fall stamp sets, including Happy Harvest, You Crow Girl, and the Pick of the Patch Add-on. To give the cow a little more height, I brought in the hay bale from You Goat This.

For the focal panel, I used the Cloudy Stencil on a Small Stitched Circle Stackable with some Distress Oxide Inks. I popped this up with foam tape over layers of Falling Leaves and Pint-sized Patterns: Summertime patterned paper. I finished with a trio of Iridescent Sequins and a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Critters at the Pond Card - Lawn Fawnatics #225

Hey friends! It's time for a brand-new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this is such a fun one! Let's Go Wild! features critters in their natural habitats. I took my card a little to the extreme, wanting to squeeze in as much wildlife as I could. Just look at them all happily coexisting! I pulled in critters from Silly Goose!, Wood You Be Mine?, Little Woodland Library Friends, and Beary Rainy Day and accessory images from Toadally Awesome and Swan Soiree.
 

For the background, I die cut the Riverside Backdrop: Portrait out of Bristol Cardstock and added color with Distress Oxide Inks. I used Tumbled Glass and Broken China for the sky, both of those plus Mermaid Lagoon for the water, and Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness for the ground.

I stamped a sentiment across the bottom, adhered the background to a Peach card base, and glued down all my images. For an extra pop of color, I also added a Stitched Rectangle Frames

in Peach to match the inside. And of course, I finished things off with a bit of Stardust Stickles.
