TO THE FOOLS WHO DREAM (1)

A new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and my favorite theme so far: Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song. So I can finally combine my two biggest passions: crafting and movies. I came up with an idea for one of my favorite movies, "La La Land".

For the background I wanted to start with the sentiment. I used Violet's Abc's and created my own sentiment. "To the Fools Who Dream" is a line from the film, that I absolutely love.

For the sky, I wanted to created that blueish purple sky that is known from that fantastic dance scene between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling and that is also on the movie poster. I used three Distress Ink colors for the sky: Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord and Shaded Lilac.

I trimmed a rectangle for the ground and embossed a stitched line, with the Stitched Borders. I ink blended this piece with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.

I die cut the Village Border from Black Licorice cardstock and the lights from Sunflower cardstock.

I stamped the images. I used several stamp sets; Bicycle Built For You, Mermaid For You and Here We Go a-Waddling. I colored all the images with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Mia: E08 - E18/ E000 - E11/ W5 - W7/ Y11 - Y08
Sebastian: E000 - E11/ W5 - W7/ C0 - C3 - 0/ E53 - E55
Rock: E53 - E55
Light: Y11 - Y08

I die cut or fussy cut the images and assembled my card. I added the panel to a Vanilla Malt cardbase.
