Lawn fawnatics challenge 6 cheerful get well

Hello. 

We have a super fun challenge starting on the Lawn fawnatics blog today.

Cheerful get well!

As always this challenge is sponsored by Lawn fawn and one lucky randomly selected winner will win $25 to spend at Lawnfawn.com 

My card for the challenge is very bright and cheerful.

I have made a fun shaker card. 

To start I die cut a panel that I had coloured with distress inks and water splatters with the scalloped rectangles. 

Then cut a smaller rectangle from it to use inside while keeping the other part for the outer frame.

All of the images use the Get well soon mini stamp set and matching dies.

All of the images were stamped with black archival ink then water coloured with zig clean color markers.

Im really pleased with how this card turned out but i wish i had stamped little face on the plasters.
I hope you join in with the challenge.
Thanks so much for looking.

Lawnscaping #126 ...Sweet

Hello.

This weeks challenge from Lawnscaping is for all you sweet tooth people.

Just use something sweet on your project, so you have lots of options.

We are sponsored by the fabulous Lawn Fawn.

For my card I reached straight for my Baked with love set.

I love baking cakes so this pile of cupcakes is just my thing.

All the images were stamped in Black Archival ink and coloured with zig clean color pens and Inktense pencils and a water brush.

Everything was die cut and assembled onto the patterned paper panel.

I kept the design design very simple because I used bright colours and simply added some sequins to finish.

Thanks for looking.

Wonderful watercolour....Lawnscaping #122

Hello.

There is a new challenge up today on the Lawnscaping blog.

Water colouring!

I love water colouring ....I love the looseness  you can get,the soft effect, the many different mediums there are to create the look.

Water colouring is by far my favourite thing on cards.

This challenge is sponsored by the wonderful Lawn fawn.

For my card i have used Zig clean color pens.

These have been a must have for many  card makers and I must admit I love the bright colours you can get from them.

I started by stamping the light bulb in black archival ink onto my water colour card panel.

Once the ink dried I added the colour with the pen to the edges of the bulb and pulled the colour into the centres with a water brush.

For my sentiment i stamped it all using Milo's ABC in a straight line then cut each letter out individually.

The tricky part was then adding all the foam tape and getting it into a circle lol.

It did go a little off but I'm OK with that.

Hope you can join in with the watercolour goodness this week :)

Thanks for looking.

Watercolour thanks

Hello.

The last Flickr challenge from Simon says stamp was  watercolour.

So i made this simple set.

I actually made these last week and have only just managed to get them uploaded, the challenge is about to finish but you could still check out the new one tomorrow.

This first card is my favourite of the three different colour ways.

They were really simple to make i die cut the "thanks" from water colour card and added some colour using Zig clean color pens and loosened it with some water.

The only other detail is the card base. 

I use co-ordinating distress inks to add an ombre effect.

I like the simplicity but i think i will be adding some clear sequins before sending them.

Thanks for looking.

Belated birthday wishes

Hello.

Super quick post to share a card i made for a  crafty friend Shannon.

Shannon always stops by and leaves me such lovely comments, she also makes the cutest cards.

I used stamps from Winnie and Walter and the die cut panels are from lawn fawn.

The colouring is a mixture of  zig clean color pens distress inks and derwent colour soft pencils.

And Finally finished with Lawn fawn twine and pretty pink posh sequins.

Thanks for looking.

Birthday wishes

Hello.

Today i have my card for the challenge at Make the day special stamp store blog.

This  month we have three gorgeous colour combinations to choose from.

Can you tell which combo i went with ;) 

I loved this one from as soon as i saw it  and had an idea straight away.

I have used Winnie and Walter stamp sets In bloom -Lola's bouquet and scenery v for chevron and the sentiment is from a tree for all seasons. 

I stamped the chevrons in hero arts ombre ink so it has grey to black.

The flowers are water coloured with zig clean color pens and have some gold perfect pearls on them also.

There is still plenty of time to join in.
Thanks for looking.

Lawnscaping challenge #113

 

Hello.
Its new challenge time at Lawnscaping :)
This challenge we are sponsored by Ellen Hutson.
The theme this month is texture.
So i got out my much neglected texture paste and a stencil among other things.

I have used the new Booyah set from Lawn fawn.

I stamped the images in black archival ink and coloured with my zig clean colour pens and fussy cut out.

For my background I used  a stars stencil and texture paste over a distress inked background.

When that was dry and i had adhered the ghosts to the panel i used gel pens in white green and purple to draw some dots or different sizes around them and then covered the dots on glossy accents for even more texture.

I cant wait to see what cool and creative ways you have of adding some texture to your cards.

Thanks for looking.

Play with pastels.

Hello.

I made today's card for the Simon says stamp Flickr challenge.

This is challenge #26 and the theme is Play with pastels.

This is my first time using this Happy Meowday stamp set ...and Ive had it a while ..oops!

I stamped the image in black archival ink onto water colour card then stamped just the box another two times.

All of the images are coloured with zig clean color  pens and water brush.

I the fussy cut them out and added to my distress ink coloured panel with some foam tape.

I added lots of wink of stella onto the boxes and some clear sequins to finish.

Thanks for looking.

Picture perfect

Hello.

Here my blog post from Make the day special stamp store.

Its world photography day today and that's inspired today's cards. 

First up is this card using Lawn fawns #Awesome stamp set.

I am ashamed to say it hasn't seen much ink if any since Ive had it.

I started by using the small camera icon  and heat embossed with clear powder.

I then water coloured and left to dry.

I made the sentiment and added to the water coloured panel.

Very simple to do and some clear sequins finish it just  nicely.

This card uses an older lawn fawn set, Say cheese. 

I love the old polaroid style camera ...still have one in real life too.

I simply stamped and coloured with pencils before fussy cutting.

I stamped the background using stamps from Winnie and Walter and hero arts ombre ink.

To add my sentiment i cut the camera where the picture would come from and place the banner with the stamped sentiment in,

  

 

I hope you get to take some pictures today ...maybe of cards ...for our challenge? ;)

Thanks for looking

MTDSSS sketch challenge

Hello.

Its challenge time at Make the day special stamp store.

This month we have a sketch to use i think this is a great sketch and hope you will join in.

I have used Newtons antics stamp set from Newtons Nook.

I stamped the image onto some watercolour card with archival ink and coloured with Zig clean color pens and fussy cut out.

I also used the pens on some acetate to make the background. simply by scribbling on to it and spraying with a mini mister then just applied to my card base.

For the panel across the card i used some vellum and stamped the paw prints in turquoise archival ink on the reverse and adhered to the  card using some washi tape.

Then i added the image on some foam tape. 

The sentiment is stamped directly onto my  card base.

I finished with some dots of glossy accents.
