SEASON'S TWEETINGS (1)

Well, almost October. I'm so ready for colder weather, which is somehow not happening here in The Netherlands yet. I created this Christmas card with the Winter Birds stamp set and the Build-a-Birdhouse die set (with its add-on). All products are from Lawn Fawn.

For the sky, I wanted a crisp blue snowy sky. I ink blended with Blueprint Sketch and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. When it was dry, I added snowflakes with the Snowflake Background Stencils and Yeti Ink. I also added splatted with some white paint.

I die cut the snowy hill from Sparkle cardstock using the Stitched Hillside Borders dies. Probably my most used die set ever.

The elements for the birdhouse were die cut from the following cardstocks: Woodgrain, Sparkle, Chili Pepper, Chocolate Bar, Rainforest and Black Licorice.

I stamped the images from Winter Birds and colored them (and the die cut string of lights) with Copic Markers. Here are all the colors:

Lights: Y15 - Y17 - YR16

Birds: R27 - R59/ Y17 - YR16/ W5 - W7

Chicks: Y17 - YR16/ E74 - E79

Scarfs: BG15 - BG18

I die cut all the images and assembled the card. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto a banner which was die cut from Chili Pepper cardstock. I added highlights to the images as a finishing touch.

I'm on the Lawn Fawnatics Blog today with this cool encouragment card, using the Build-a-Drink and Build-a-Drink Cocktail Add-On die sets. I also used Berry Patch and Zesty Lemon die sets.

GIFT TAGS (7)

On the Lawn Fawnatics Blog is a new challenge live. And it's a color inspiration board. The colors are celery stick, raspberry, sage leaf, no. 2 pencil and juice box. The image you can be inspired by is a leaf image in these colors. I was inspired by both while creating these simple gift tags.

I used the Scalloped Circle Gift Tag die set. I die cut the base from Raspberry cardstock. The circle was die cut from Vanilla Malt cardstock.

I wanted to stamp some fall leaves onto the Vanilla Malt circle, in Celery Stick, Sage Leaf, Juice Box and No. 2 Pencil inks. Because I don't have the Raspberry ink, I used this color for the base cardstock of the tags.

The leaves I stamped are from the Jump for Joy stamp set and I stamped a cute little pattern. I assembed the tags and used some twine. On the back of the tag, I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.
