DROPPING BY TO SAY HI (1)

For this friendship card, I used the For You, Deer stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I started by die cutting a piece of Perfectly Plaid Chill paper with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. From this panel I die cut a square twice, with the Outside In Stitched Square Stackables. They are going to function as windows. I die cut the same windows from a piece of Sticky Note cardstock, which will be my cardbase. This will make it a see through card.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Deer: E08 - E18/ E00 - E11/ E41 - E43
Bear: E31 - E33
I added some white dots onto the animal's face and head. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the banner, from Bannertastic. For the inside I used Lawn Fawn Inks. Sunflower Ink for the main part of the banner and Sunflower Ink, for the little parts in the back.

I fussy cut the banner and added the sentiment to it. I adhered all the elements together.

I was really tricky to make the front panel and the cardbase have the squares on the same spot, so it is a see through card. But so much fun to make. The stamps also have add-on dies, to create tags or even a bookmark with them. I really want them too.

I added water drops to it and dabbed them off with a paper towel. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto it, with white embossing powder from Ranger.

SEALED WITH A KISS (1)

The mini stamp set Sealed with a Kiss, from Lawn Fawn, is super cute. I decided to use it to create a wedding card.

I started by creating the scene. I die cut some pieces of cardstock with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I used Watercolor Wishes paper, Narwhal cardstock and regular white cardstock. The Watercolor Wishes paper is my sky. From the Narwhal cardstock I die cut mountains, with the Stitched Mountain Borders. The white cardstock I also die cut with the Stitched Hillside Borders, to create two hills. I stamped the sentiment on the smallest hill, in Peacock Ink.

I stamped the two seals and I also stamped a hat and veil from Bicycle Built For You. I colored the images with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Seals: W0 - W3/ W3 - W5
Hat: W5 - W7/ BG000 - B00
Veil: C0 - BG000 - B00

I fussy cut and die cut the images and started to assemble the card. I added the card onto a Peacock cardbase and added some glitter to the veil and hat, with the Clear Sparkle Pen from Spectrum Noir.

I love how you can combine all those Lawn Fawn stamp sets, no matter how old they are.
