HAPPY EASTER (14)

I created an Easter card, with the Chirpy Chirp Chirp stamp set and the Mushroom House die set. I used the no-line coloring technique for this and ink blended all the scene elements.

I started by die cutting all the elements for the Mushroom House and the scene. I ink blended everything with Distress Inks. Here is a list of all the Distress Inks I used:
Sky: Salty Ocean
Grass: Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover
Mushroom house: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo, Wild Honey and Hickory Smoke
Flowers + mushrooms: Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Antique Linen, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick and Wilted Violet.
Butterflies: Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers

I stamped the three chicks in Antique Linen Distress Ink and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for coloring. Here are the colors I used:
Chicks: 052 - Bright Yellow + 050 - Yellow + 070 - Orange

I fussy cut the images and assembled everything. I stamped the sentiment in Hippo Ink. I also added some swirly lines for the flying butterflies, using Manatee Ink.

I love this look, it looks like a children's picture book.

REVEAL WHEEL (15)

I created an Easter themed Reveal Wheel, using the Eggstra Amazing Easter stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I started by die cutting all the reveal wheel elements. I also die cut two grassy hills, uwing the Simple Grassy Hillsides dies and the Grassy Hillside Borders die set. I die cut those from Cilantro cardstock and ink blended the tops with Lucky Clover Distress ink. For the sky, I used the Clouds stencil from MFT and used Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink for blending.

For the sentiment, I used the new Reveal Wheel Spring Sentiments stamp set.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Basket: C0 - C2 - C3/ Y11 - Y06
Bow: YR21 - Y38 ,br /> Bunnies; E41 - E43/ R10 - R83
Eggs: V01 - V12 - V04/ B00 - B12/ YR21 - Y38/ R22 - R35/ YG11 - YG13
Chick: YR21 - Y38/ Y06 - Y11
Chocolate bunny: E55 - E57

I die cut all the images using my Cuttlebug. I assembled the reveal wheel and my card. I added the panel onto a piece of Spiffy Speckles paper.

I first added a stamped Arrow, but it looked terrible, so I die cut an Arrow from Fake Tan cardstock. It doesn't cover up the stamped Arrow completely, so it created a little balck border. It's a solution, but I'm not completely happy with it. But I didn't want to start over...

For the scene, I used the Stitched hillside backdrop: Landscape die set. I used Distress Inks to ink blend this die cut. I used Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover for the grassy hills and Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon for the sky. I added some water drops to the sky. I dabbed them off with a paper towel.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto the front hill, using white embossing powder from Ranger.

I stamped the images in Antique Linen Distress Ink. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for coloring. Here are the colors I used:

REVEAL WHEEL (14)

Time for one of my favorite interactive dies: the Reveal Wheel die set! I used it together with the new Rawrsome stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I started by die cutting all the elements for my reveal wheel. For the front panel I used some Spiffy Speckles paper. The wheel itself was die cut from Moonstone cardstock. I used one of the new templates to stamp the words onto the wheel.

I die cut two Grassy Borders from Cilantro cardstock, which I also ink blended with Lucky Clover Distress Ink.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Pterodactyl: V01 - V12 - V04

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped sentiment above the reveal wheel window and added the reveal wheel panel to a piece of Really Rainbow Scallops paper. I adhered the entire panel onto a Moonstone cardbase and also added an Arrow, die cut from white cardstock.

I think this stamp set will be used very often, I love these cute dinosaurs.

I also used Woodgrain cardstock for the door and window and Ground Espresso for the chimney. For the light behind the window, I used Sticky Note cardstock. I ink blended the top of the roof with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and the bottom part of the stem with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The door and window I inked up with Vintage Photo.

CRAFTY HAUL (32)

The new Lawn Fawn Spring 2019 has been out for over a week now. I now have received all of my orders, so I'm here to share with you everything I got from the new release.

I was super excited about the new interactive die they released: the Magic Picture Changer. When you pull the tab, the picture literally changes. But I needed the Magic Picture Changer Add-On first, so that's what I got. I've made a couple of cards with it already and it's not as complicated as you might think.

The Spiffy Speckles paper is super fun. I is my favorite paper collection of this release. I think I will use it a lot, because I have already!

From all the stamp sets that were released this Spring, the Rawrsome set got me excited the most. I just love dinosaurs and I can already think of many ways to use. I will definitely make a card or two fro my brother, because he is a dino nerd.

Although I'm not a big fan of butterflies, the Butterfly Kisses stamp was a must have for me. Super cute images and perfect for those amazing spring scenes.

Lawn Fawn Always makes the most clever products. I was super happy with these Reveal Wheel stencils. This way, it makes it easier to line-up you sentiments when you make a reveal wheel card. I got both sets.

And also this tape. It's 1/8 score tape, that will work perfect for assembling the Magic Picture Changer.

The Oh Gnome! set is also a favorite for me of this release. I can't wait to create cute scenes with those gnomes and all those scene builders.

The The Really Rainbow Scallopes paper looks super colorful and I Always loved the scallop shapes.

The Mushroom Border and the Mushroom House dies coordinate perfectly with the Oh Gnome! stamps. The house is my favorite die of this release, it looks so cute.

With spring comes the ultimate spring paper: the Spring Fling papers. I got the larger size, because I'm planning on creating some gift bags with these.

The Reveal Wheel Spring Sentiments was a must-have for me, since  love creating reveal wheel cards. Now I can create reveal wheel cards with a spring and Easter theme.

I also got an older die, the Reveal Wheel Speech Bubble Add-On.

And because it's been nine years, I got the Year Nine stamp set as well. A super cute taco image.

HAY THERE, EWE ARE THE BEST (1)

The theme for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge is "Inspired by a Movie, Book or Song". I decided to pick one of my favorite children's books (and also a movie), "Charlotte's Web". The main stamp set I used is Hay There, but I also used Bicycle Built For You and Rub-a-Dub-Dub.

For the scene, I used the Simple Grassy Hillsides and the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. I used Distress Inks for blending all the elements. For the sky I used Salty Ocean, for the grass Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron and for the front piece I used Scattered Straw.

From some Black Licorice cardstock, I die cut the cobweb and spider (Charlotte) from the Cute Cobweb die set.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Fern: E000 - E11 - E21/ E15 - E18/ R14 - R17 - R29/ W5 - W7
Wilbur: RV10 - R83/ W5 - W7
Geese: W0 - W2 - 0/ Y38 - YR16
Chicken: E53 - E55/ R17/ YR16
Sheep: W0 - W2 - 0/ E000 - E11 - E21/ W5 - W7
Fences: W- W3
Barn: R14 - R17 - R29 - R59/ E53 - E55/ W5 - W7/ YR21 - YR23

I fussy cut or die cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Lobster Ink. I added the panel onto a Chili Pepper cardbase and put some white lines onto the Charlotte the spider, using a white gelly roll pen.

I love being inspired by movies, book or songs for my cards. What a super fun challenge!!! Make sure you check it out on the Lawn Fawnatics Blog and see what the Design Team made. And please join us with your creations as well!!!
