Lawn Fawn Day 5 with Christy Gets Crafty Collab!

Hi friends and welcome to Day 5 and my final day of  Lawn Fawn Week!!  I can't believe it has gone by already!  Today I have a special collab with Christy Gets Crafty ( Christy Reuling ) - she is one of my best friends and crafty friends and I am I so happy she decided to do this with me!  I will have her video linked below if you would also like to check it out!  

For today's card - I wanted to do something a little different for me.  I wanted to achieve two things on my card - a monochromatic look, and I wanted to get out my colored pencils.  I haven't used them in LONG time!

For our collab - the theme was to use a new set along with an older set from LF.  I used Our Friendship Grows as my old set ( it is one of my all time favs ) and Easter Party for my new set.  I started out by creating my background onto a piece of kraft card stock.  I stamped in Versamark the flowers from Our Friendship Grows, and I heat embossed them with Rose Gold Embossing Powder from LF.  Then, I wanted to add some white highlights.  I started out using my white gel pen, but then I pulled out my white colored pencil, and that is when I made the decision to color in my girl with the pencils too!

I love how she turned out, and I got the itch to play with my colored pencils more!!  Sometime I'd like to invest in some of the Faber Castell PolyChromos pencils too.  Once I was happy with my colored image, I die cut it out with the matching die, and also a white piece of cardstock using one of the Everyday Banners, and I stamped out my sentiment from Simply Sentiments.  I added my girl to my banner with liquid adhesive, and added some foam adhesive all over the back of this entire piece.  I die cut my background with one of the Stitched Rectangle Stackables, and then I adhere my main panel to to another piece of kraft card stock.

For the inside, I stamped out the largest flower from Our Friendship Grows in Doe ink, and another sentiment from Simply Sentiments in Plastic Flamingo ink.

Well - that's it!!  This is a wrap on Lawn Fawn Week.  I still have the giveaways going on - so if you havent' checked out that video - I encourage you to.  Thank you so much again for Christy to join me for this collab!!

Christy asked us to create a celebratory card, so I did just that, and I used a lot of Lawn Fawn products as she loves Lawn Fawn as well as one other stamp set from WPlus9 whom she also loves!

I created my own custom background with the "Oh Happy Day" sentiment and stamped that onto a piece of Fog card stock from Simon Says Stamp using the Manatee ink from Lawn Fawn.  I decided I wanted to cut a circle element from my panel, so I also took a piece of Peacock card stock from Lawn Fawn and created a framed panel to allow my Fog panel to stand out more.

I stamped out one of my favorite bird images from Lawn Fawn, and did some very simple coloring with a few Copic markers, and then die cut him out using the coordinating die.  I also used the Scripty Congrats Die from Lawn Fawn and used the same Peacock card stock and well as a piece of black card stock as I will adhere both of these die cuts together, and the black with create a drop shadow effect.  I did add some shimmer to the die cuts before adhering them together as that was easier.

Then I just put all of my elements together onto my white card base which is an A2 size card - 4.25 x 5.5

Card Collab with Christy from Christy Gets Crafty

Hi everyone!!  I have a fun and special post and video to share with all of you.  My sweetest and dear friend Christy from Christy Gets Crafty and I came together to do a card collaboration.  We used the stamp stamp set and color combination.  She chose the stamp set Gleeful Gardens from Lawn Fawn and I chose the color combination that we used.  I chose it from Pinterest.

I think these two combos worked well together!!  I got brave and decided to do some water coloring for my card.  When I saw the color combo picture, I immediately thought of water color.  So - that is what I tried my hand at.  I started die cutting my water color card stock from Tim Holtz with the largest of the Small Stitched Square frame dies from Lawn Fawn, and then I prepped my card stock with my embossing buddy powder bag for embossing.  I embossed all of my images with my Hero Arts White Embossing Powder, and heat set it with my heat tool.  Then, I used 5 Distress Ink colors to do my water coloring - Evergreen Bough, Worn Lipstick, Old Paper, Gathered Twigs, and Shabby Shutters.  If you watch the video you will see I had a lot of area to cover, but I think the end result turned out pretty well!  Once I was done with the water coloring, I sprayed my piece with Mister Huey's Shine Spray Mist and it gave it something extra and it didn't look so flat.  I then prepared the rest of my elements by die cutting a piece of pattern paper from an older 6x6 pad I had.  I used the Neopolitan 6x6 from Dear Lizzy. I die cut it using the Large Stitched Square frame and I created my card base from a piece of Butter Mints card stock.  I cut it down to 10 x 5 and scored it at 5 inches to create a square card. I adhered my pieces together and called it done!  

I enjoyed doing this collab with Christy.  She is a dear friend and such an amazing talent!!  I am a lucky gal to have her in my life and as a friend!!
