Fintastic Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #223

Hey friends! Are you ready for a brand-new challenge at Lawn Fawnatics? I know I am! Summer is my favorite season, and I am so ready for Summer cards! For this one I'm diving deep into the ocean to swim amongst blacktip reef sharks -- something I would NEVER be brave enough to do in real life! I used a whole bunch of images on this one, including You Are Sublime, Duh-nuh, Duh-nuh Flip Flop, Mermaid for You, Fintastic Friends, and Party Animal. 

For the background, I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. I used Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon, and Uncharted Mariner for the sea. Then I die cut the Desert Canyon Backdrop: Landscape out of more Bristol, and used Hickory Smoke and Black Soot for the reef, and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the sand.

I stamped my sentiment in the top left corner and adhered my images with liquid glue. To cover up my ink-blended edges and tie into the diver's wetsuit, I added a Stitched Rectangle Frame of Blue Jay Cardstock. As always, I finished off the card with a little Stardust Stickles.

Hiding Hamsters Card - Paperie Ink Snail Mail Club

Hey friends, today I've got a card to share using the Paperie Ink Snail Mail Club. This is a new subscription service where you can get a fun little envelope of images and other goodies in your mailbox every month. Or you can just sign up for one month at a time if you choose. These images were from the very first kit, which was for the month of May. I'm getting to them a little late, but better late than never!

The images come pre-stamped and die cut, so all I had to do was color them in with my Copic markers and arrange them into a scene. Easy peasy! I added some patterned paper and a sentiment into the mix and viola! A finished card! And the best part? I still have extras of all these images to make more cards. I can't wait to color up these adorable hamsters again.

Glad We're Friends Card - Lawn Fawnatics #222

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this is a brand-new one! It's called Thank You for Being a Friend, and the projects you create can be thank you or friendship themed (or both!) Sound fun? For my card, I knew I had to feature the new Mice Flowers stamp set. Those mice are just so darn cute! I also brought in All the Grasses.

I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I created a simple watercolor wash background on a Small Stitched Oval Stackable. I used Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide for the sky, and Mowed Lawn for the ground. I layered this on a Stitched Scalloped Oval Stackable that I die cut out of Ballet Slippers Cardstock.

I popped up the focal panel over layers of Blissful Blossoms patterned paper on a Bubblegum card base. Then I stamped part of my sentiment and trimmed out the rest using the Scripty Friends die and Cilantro Cardstock. As always, I finished up the card with some Stardust Stickles.
