Thanks!

 Hello everyone,

Update:  I'm very excited and honoured to say that I was chosen "Top Mow-It-All" for this challenge!

I'm here with a thank you card for you today.  I absolutely love this set by Lawn Fawn and I think it's one of my most used.

I started with a white card stock panel and used a chevron embossing folder and ran that through my die cutting machine.  I then took the stitched oval dies from LF and cut it out of an ivory piece of card stock an with the sweet little faces from the Thanks a bushel set, stamped them all over the panel with SSS chocolate ink.  I stamped the little heart with SSS Teeny Bikini ink.

I had this banner die cut in my stash (I can't remember who it's from, sorry!) and it fit perfect, so instead of trying to find a coloured card stock to match I just took the same ink I used for the little hearts and inked up the banner.  This way it's a perfect match and I used up something from my ever growing stash pile!

I stamped the coffee and donut with SSS intense black ink and coloured them in with my copics.  I used R20 & R22 for the pinks, C1 & 0 for the lid and E23 & E25 for the brown on the donut. I then used the dies to cut them out.  I added the adorable little faces from the Thanks a Bushel set with SSS Chocolate ink and Teeny Bikini inks.  I cut out the Thanks from white card stock and adhered it to the banner die cut.

Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone,

As soon as I saw the newest Lawnscaping Challenge come out, I knew exactly what I was going to do. I took the plunge and I have my first attempt at a galaxy background.  I have to say that more than once this piece almost headed into the garbage can.  But I stuck it out and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I took the distress watercolour paper and did like most others who create these backgrounds and added the squeezed lemonade, picked raspberry and seedless preserves and added them in a random pattern on the paper.  Once that was blended in and you don't need to be perfect with this because you'll be covering it with the black soot.  So when it's all done you can only see the purple and the yellow becomes green.  I then added some white gesso I had in my stash and watered it down a bit and took a small pain brush and splattered it all over the panel.  With the distress inks I find the white doesn't stay white so I went over some of the splatters with a white gelly roll pen to brighten them up.

After I was done blending, there was still some left over black soot, so I took a bit of water and sprayed my craft mat and and with another piece of watercolour paper I did some ink smooching to create the moon.  I added some of the same ink colour around the edges once I cut it out with a circle die and adhered it to the card.

I cut out the tree border with LF black card stock and adhered one panel to the galaxy background and then took one of the slide on over dies and cut it out so she's flying to the moon.  I saved the little piece that comes out so I could add it to the card base so it had a cleaner look. I added fun foam to the back of the panel to give it stability and the added my penny to the back and then added foam tape to it and the added the little witch.  

I coloured in the witch with her broom and treat bag in with my copics (picture listed below of the colours) and used a white and silver gelly roll pen on her buckle and dots to her cheeks as well as some white highlights.  

And lastly I added the second tree panel with foam tape to the front of the card and heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

Lawnscaping Challenge - #137

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since I played along with the Lawnscaping Challenges and this one was too good to pass up. It's a texture challenge and I was able to play with my new LF goodies and here is the card I came up with.  

On to my card.

I started by stamping out the apples in the basket image and instead of stamping the image onto a post it note, I used the coordinating die cut instead.  This way when I mask off the image it will leave the little border around it.  I added the grid stencil to the panel and then mixed up the translucent embossing paste with the Rusty Hinge distress ink.

After I removed the stencil and cleaned it and my craft surface off I allowed the paste to dry...yeah right, who am I kidding.  I didn't have the patience to wait so I was very careful when I coloured in the basket of applies with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

I cut out the front panel with the basic rectangle dies from SSS, added some natural twin from May Arts and popped it up with foam tape to a piece of rust coloured card stock from my local craft store.  I then die cut and added the LF scripty thanks die on top of the twine with liquid glue and finished of the card with some orange gems and added it all to an A2 sized card base.

That's it for me.  Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.
