Lawn Fawn - Let it Snow!

Having such fun with my new Lawn Fawn products! I am even jumping into holiday projects full force! These critters are just too cute!

I started by die cutting all of my "frame" and background elements. I die cut the background in light turquoise cardstock and stamped the snow from the Lawn Fawn Snow Cool set and white embossed. I added some Stormy Sky Distress Inks to add dimension.  I then die cut two of the leafy tree portrait die, one with Lawn Fawn pattern paper and one from watercolour cardstock. I then used a mix of Distress Inks to "grey out" the tree to make it look wintery.  I sprayed it with some water for texture and cut just the tree out then glued it to the pattern paper tree.  I also die cut some snow hills also using Lawn Fawn dies.  My stamps are a mix from both Cheery Christmas and Snow Cool coloured with Copics.  I used some vellum to balance the snow background.  I was so careful to glue it so it wouldn't warp but alas, I added glue for my sequins and yes, it warped!!  

Thanks for taking the time!

Lawn Fawn - Jump for Joy it's almost fall!

I don't know if any of you feel this way at the end of summer, but finding my card mojo seems to be difficult!!! I got my new Lawn Fawn products over the last few weeks and took the long weekend to try and find my crafting mojo! 

Fall is my favourite season and this new collection suits me just fine!!!

Felt good to get back into my studio and get my hands dirty with some Distress Inks! :) I used the new Jump for Joy stamps and dies as well as the Leafy Tree Backdrop (portrait).  I die cut one panel from the 6x6 perfectly plaid paper and a second from watercolour cardstock. I applied a mix of brown Distress inks to the tree then sprayed some water for the splotches, I then re-applied a bit more Distress Ink to give it more depth. I did the same for the sky background (blue inks) and the "grass" hill. I glued my tree onto the full plaid Leafy Tree.  I stamped my critters and leaves on Neena 80lbs and coloured them with Copics. Put the card together and decided to make a shaker out of it with a mix of sequins!

Thanks for taking the time!
