WISHING YOU HAPPINESS (5)

I created this new home card. And the perfect new die set for this is the Build-a-House die set from Lawn Fawn. I combined it with one of the images from Tree Before 'n After.

I die cut all the elements for the house. I only used Lawn Fawn cardstock for this. I used Rainforest cardstock, Chili Pepper cardstock, Sticky Note cardstock, Apricot cardstock, Kraft cardstock and Mermaid cardstock. I assembled the house and added some shine marks to the windows with a white gelly roll pen.

For the scene, I started on ink blending the background. I used just Salty Ocean, for a simple inked sky. I left it white towards the bottom.

I die cut a hill, using the Simpe Stiched Hillside Borders and some Kraft cardstock. I also die cut some clouds, from the Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait die set.

I assembled the card and stamped the sentiment in Noble Fir Ink. I added the panel onto a Kraft carbase. As a finishing touch, I added a doorknob with some Nuvo Crystal Drops, in the color Buttermilk.

This Build-a-House die set (and all it's add-on sets) is one of my favorite sets of this year. Maybe even ever!

REVEAL WHEEL (21)

For this Reveal Wheel card, I used the Fortune Teller Tabby stamp set together with the cat image from Keep on Swimming. All from Lawn Fawn.

I die cut all the reveal wheel elements. I used the Reveal Wheel Square Add-On set, instead of the basic one, to create a smaller scene. For the background I used Distress Inks. I used Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. For the ground, I used some Spiffy Speckles paper.

I also ink blended the wheel, with Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments onto the weel.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Cats: YR21 - Y38/ W0 - W3/ E1 - E33 - E35/ R22
Table: YR21 - Y38/ V01 - V12 - V04
Glass ball: YG41 - BG23/ W3 - W5 - W7

I die cut the images with my Cuttlebug and also die cut the inner part of the glass ball.

I assembled the reveal wheel, adhered everything onto the panel and stamped the remaining part of the sentiment. I adhered the panel onto a Mermaid cardbase and stamped the 'turn here' sentiment next to the wheel. I also added an arrow here, which was die cut from Spiffy Speckles paper. As a finishing touch I added a white highlight to the bandana of the cat, using a gelly roll pen.

It has a simple look, but it packs a punch!

HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN (2)

I created a no-line colored Halloween card, using the Happy Howloween stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

For the background, I used three Distress Ink colors: Tattered Rose, Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet. After I blended the sky, I added a stencil from Darkroom Door over it and blended some more. This way I create a subtle pattern.

I die cut a grassy hill and border, from Cilantro and Noble Fir cardstocks. I ink blended the grass blades with Lucky Clover and Pine Needles Distress Inks.

I stamped the imanges and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Here are the colors I used:
072 - Beige + 076 - Medium Beige + 074 - Light Beige

083 - Lilac + 081 - Light Violet
091 - Light Grey
050 - Yellow + 055 - Pale Yellow

I fussy cut all the images. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and the boo sentiment, using white embossing powder from Lawn Fawn. I adhered the panel onto a Ballet Slipper cardbase. As a finishing touch I added some bats to the sky, from the Spooky Village stamp set.

This looks really pretty, with the no-line coloring.
