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.

HAPPY EASTER (13)

I created an Easter card with all die cuts. I used the Mini Easter Eggs die set from Lawn Fawn.

For the background, I took a piece of Spiffy Speckles paper, the one with the purple speckles on it.

I took the four egg dies, only the outlines, not the solid egg. I due cut all eggs from five different Lawn Fawn cardstocks. I used Guava cardstock, Sticky Note cardstock, Sugarplum cardstock, Ballet Slippers cardstock and Mermaid cardstock.

For the sentiment, I took the Scripty Happy die and die cut it from watercolor cardstock. Ink blended the bottom half with Shaded Lilac Oxide Ink and Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I layered this die cut on another one, that I die cut from Narwhal cardstock. I shifted it a bit, so it looks like a shadow.

The rest of the sentiment I stamped and heat embossed onto Narwhal cardstock, using white embossing powder from Ranger. I added both pieces of the sentiment onto the panel

I adhered the panel onto a Peacock cardbase.

Although cards with only die cuts are pretty time consuming, they are totally worth your time!

SORRY YOU'RE FEELING BAAAAD (1)

For this get well card, I used the Hay There stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I used the Clouds stencil again, from My Favorite Things, to blend the sky. I used Salty Ocean Distress Ink for this.

I die cut grass and a hill, using the Simple Stitched Hillsides and the Simple Grassy Hillsides. I die cut them from Cilantro carsdtock and ink blended the edges with Lucky Clover Distress Ink.

I took the tree dies from the Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape. I die cut them from Cilantro cardstock and Paper Bag cardstock. I ink blended with Lucky Clover Distress Ink and Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I stamped the images. I also used some images from Get Well Before 'n After and Toadally Awesome. I used Copic Markers for coloring. Here are the colors I used:

Barn: R46 - R59/ YR23 - Y26/ YR21 - Y38/ E55 - E57

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment and added the panel onto a Sunflower cardbase. I added some highlights to the trees and the bard, using a white gelly roll pen.

This is such a fun set, I have used it so many times since I got it last year.

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:

Moose: E74 - E77/ E41 - E43
Bird: YR21 - Y38/ YR07

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

HOPE YOUR DAY GLOWS WITH HAPPINESS (2)

For this night scene card, I used several Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Little Fireflies, Toadally Awesome and Upon a Star.

I decided to work directly on the cardbase. I cut a cardbase from Peacock cardstock and ink blended the top with Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink. I die cut grass, with the Simple Grassy Hillsides, from Cilantro cardstock. I ink blended the tops with Lucky Clover.

I stamped the sentiment onto the smallest grassy hill.

I stamped the images from the different sets and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Foxes: E33 - E35/ E00 - E11
Frogs: YG11 - YG13/ YR21 - Y38
Fireflies: YR21 - Y38/ B00 - B12/ V04 - V12
Log: E31 - E33 - E35
Cat tails: E71 - E74/ YG61 - YG67

I fussy cut all the images and assembled the card.

I like the look of ink blended colored cardstock. I don't do that very often. But for creating a night sky, it's the perfect technique.
