YOUR JOKES ARE ALWAYS A-MOOSE-ING (3)

I created an outdoor scene with the Dad + Me stamp set from Lawn Fawn and a bunch of their other stamps and die sets.

For the sky, I used Dried Marigold Oxide Ink. I only ink blended the top, because it had to be subtle. From Moonstone cardstock I die cut water with the Stitched Hillside Borders and I ink blended this with Broken China Oxide Ink. The Grassy Border was die cut from Sage Leaf cardstock, which was blended with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink. The Stitched Mountain Borders I die cut from Fog cardstock and I used Iced Spruce Distress Ink for blending.

I stamped the images. I also used images from Happy Trails, Toadally Awesome and Winter Village. I used Copic Markers for coloring. Here are all the colors I used:
Moose: E71 - E74 - E79/ E41 - E43
Cabin: E41 - E43/ E00 - E11 - E04/ R35 - R39/ Y15 - Y17
Cattails: E71 - E74 - E79/ G43 - G46
Trees: G43 - G46/ BG93 - BG96
Lilly pads: YG03 - YG13
Lillies: R32 - R35
Dragonflies: Y15 - Y17

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment and I made a big mistake doing that. While I was adding some highlights and dots with y gelly roll pen, my hand went over the sentiment and it was a total mess. I couldn't fix it and didnt' want to start over. So, I die cut a Fancy Folded Banner from Speckled Eggshell cardstock. I stamp the sentiment onto it in Doe Ink and adhered it to the background. No one will ever know about that mistake.

That is also crafting, it's trial and error at times. But in the end, it always works out.

YOUR JOKES ARE ALWAYS A-MOOSE-ING (2)

I created a Father's Day card, set in a forest scene. I used the Dad + Me stamp set, together with the Open Me set and Critters in the Forest stamp set. All from Lawn Fawn.

For the sky, I ink blended some Salty Ocean Distress Ink using a Clouds stencil from My Favorite Things.

For the scene, I used some Lawn Fawn dies. I used the new Mushroom Borders die, which I die cut from Vanilla Malt cardstock. The tips were die cut from Chili Pepper cardstock. I ink blended these with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

I due cut a tree, using the Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape die. I used Chocolate Bar cardstock and Cilantro cardstock. I ink blended the tree trunk with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the leaves with Lucky Clover Distress Ink.

The grassy I die cut with the Grassy Border die and the grassy hill that comes with the Mushroom Border die. I used Cilantro cardstock for this as well and used Lucky Clover again to blend.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Sign: E53 - E55 - E57
Moose: E74 - E77/ E41 - E43
Bird: YR21 - Y38/ YR07
Log: E53 - E55 - E57/ G43 - G46
Dragonflies: BG23 - BG49/ YR21 - Y38

I die cut or fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I added some white highlights or details to the images, using a gelly roll pen. I also stamped the sentiment onto the sign. I adhered the panel onto a Vanilla Malt cardbase.

I will probably give it to my dad on Father's Day, because I love this card sooooo much!
