LSC #98 Create a Background with stamps

Hi all!!  Welcome to another challenge for Lawnscaping!!  This challenge focuses on creating a background with your stamps.  So - its time to look at those stamps a bit differently and stretch them to a new level!!  For this challenge our sponsor is the one and only - Lawn Fawn!!  Have you seen there upcoming release!!  WOW!!  Can't wait to get my hands on these fun new goodies!

Back to challenge talk!!  Here is my card I created!

So I wanted to ink this cute set Whale you be mine? And, I wanted to use the coordinating dies.  So, I used the sentiment and the little heart in this set to create my background. I inked up the heart in Hero Arts Pale Tomato ink and the sentiment in Soft Vanilla ink.  I love this whole color combo! So fun and cheery. I die cut a piece of white card stock from the Stitched Journaling Card Die, and created my background, and then I stamped my whales, and colored them in with Copics.  I also created some water for them out of vellum.  I didn't want my stamped background to be covered up too much, that is why I chose vellum.  I also used a B02 Copic to color my vellum and I used one of the Stitched Scallop Border Dies and created my waves for my water piece.  I adhered all my pieces onto the stamped panel, and added some Lemon Lawn Trimmings. And, my card base is a Mermaid Lawn Fawndamentals note card.

So cute!  Loved how it turned out.  Hope you are able to join us for this new challenge!! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!!  See you soon!

LSC #86 Watercoloring

Hello fans of Lawnscaping!  Welcome back to another new challenge!  We are focusing on the more than ever popular water coloring!  Do you like to water color?  For some it may be new, intimidating, or your favorite technique - either way - we'd like to see what you'd create!

Our sponsor is the super awesome Lawn Fawn!!  How awesome is that!?  Here is what I came up with for my project featuring water color.

I used the adorable mini set "Get Well Soon" by Lawn Fawn - I thought it would be cute and different to use the little band aid and spell out " Hi".  I used some of the Tim Holtz Water color paper and stamped all of my images in Staz On Ink since I was water coloring, and it is a water proof ink. I used Distress Inks to water color my background and birdie image.  I used Evergreen Bough, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, and Worn Lipstick.  After I did my water coloring, and once it was dry, I die cut my piece with one of my Sizzix Circles Dies.  I thought the edge of the circle needed a bit of definition, so I added a bit of Black Soot to the edge, and it makes it stand out better against the Lawn Fawn card base I used - these are the Lawn Fawndamentals notecards - they are a 4 bar size which is 3 1/3 X 4 7/8. 

I added some Wink of Stella to my bird, and my "Hi" and added some glossy accents to the band aids.

Here is a closer look

Hopefully this card would perk any one up that was feeling under the weather :)  Be sure and play along!! There is a great prize to be won by Lawn Fawn!

See you soon!
