LSC #108 Stars & Stripes ( Sadly, my last challenge post for the FIT )

Hi all and welcome to a new challenge for Lawnscaping!  This time you get to choose whether you'd like to feature Stars or Stripes or both on your project!!  And, of course how fun is it to have Lawn Fawn as the sponsor!!  Great timing too, as their new release just launched!  And, such awesome stuff I must add!





So for my card, I chose to use both stars and stripes.  I chose to use Best Pun Ever, and I wanted to make a row of fun popsicles  and two could even be fudge bars...( white and dark choc. perhaps ) *wink*  So I die cut a piece of Vintage Cream card stock from one of the Stitched Square Stackables, I also used the same frames but slightly different size and die cut a piece of vellum, and I sat that piece aside.  I stamped out 3 of the smaller popsicles, and two of the large, and then I chose some pattern papers from the Beach Side Patterns and Polka Mon Amie 6x6 paper pads to paper piece, and then I colored in the sticks with two Copic Markers - E13 and E37




How fun are these!!??  Once I was finished with my popsicles, I stamped out my sentiment from the same stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I applied some foam adhesive to the back of my main panel, and I applied just some regular tape runner adhesive to my vellum piece, and all of that got adhered to a Mint Card base which I stamped my star background using Teeny Tiny Backdrops.  


For finishing touches, I applied some sequins, and some Wink of Stella to my popsicles!  

Before I go - I just wanted to quickly say how I've enjoyed being apart of the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team.  I had been on the team since its inception 2 years ago. I worked with such wonderful talented ladies!!  Sadly, my term will be ending at the end of this month, but before I say goodbye, I will bring you one more monthly blog hop!!  Thank you Laurel for a wonderful and happy two years!!  Maybe in the future I can say hello again on the Lawnscaping Design Team!!  *grin*

Lawnscaping Challenge #103 Dimension

Hi all!!  Welcome to a new challenge over at Lawnscaping Challenges!  We are all about Dimension this go 'round!  Who doesn't love dimension.  It makes you cards or layouts just stand out!

I really wanted to capture that in my card for this challenge, and I hope you feel that I achieved just that!!







So - I kept the design pretty simple.  I wanted the dimension to speak for itself.  I inked up the cute fan image from Best Pun Ever from Lawn Fawn.  I think this is an adorable set!!  I first started stamping out my fan image three times and coloring one of the images in its entirety, and then color only parts of the other two images as I was only going to use parts of them.  I also wanted a "retro" feel with the color scheme.  I used my Copics to color in the fan(s) and then I fussy cut my images out except for the "full" fan that I colored.  Here I am showing you more of that dimension.  Loved how these photos really show it off!


To create the dimension, I used two different thicknesses of foam adhesive.  And, as you can see I wanted some texture too on my card, so I used an embossing folder that represents "wind swirling" and I used the de-bossed side.  

For my panels I used both the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables and Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables.  And, of course to adhere all of my elements, I used more foam adhesive!  I also added a bit of shimmer to my fan's blades with Clear Wink of Stella brush pen.

I hope you are able to play along as there is a chance to win a $25 gift certificate with Ellen Hutson!!

Catch you back here soon!!
