Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 25 - Color Inspiration :)

Happy Monday! I think all crafters can relate to the inspiration of everything rainbow! The Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog turns one and the inspiration for the challenge is color inspiration!

I was lucky enough to take a class taught by Jenn Shurkus over the weekend at my local scrapbook store - Scrapbook Centrale aka my happy place! I can see why she decided to start teaching full-time, she is gracious and patient and really takes the time with her participants. I have recently begun teaching myself and I am so happy I went, you learn from someone like her - her personality and passion are infectious! 

So for my card, if any of you follow this blog you will undoubtably expect me to do a rainbow theme! LOL

Not only did I go rainbow I went with wonky Fro-Yo! I just felt like having fun with this project. What better than pile of rainbow frozen yogurt from the Sweet Friends stamp set. I stamped my first image on the top and re-stamped it on a sticky PostIt note and fussy cut my mask. I place it on top of the first and continued down, I did need to cut a second mask but not the whole image just the cup.

Once I was done I used my Copics to color the images. I then chose one of the fantastic Really Rainbow Petite 6x6 papers for the background and die cut that using my largest Stitched Rectangle die.  I cut down my A2 size panel with the frozen yogurt and decided to add a little detail by using one of the stitched border dies. I then added "sprinkles" to the frozen yogurt using my white Gellyroll pen. I put my card together and stamped the sentiment also from the Sweet Friends stamp set on Lawn Fawn black card stock and white embossed it. The sequins are new from Studio Katia and they have a really pretty iridescent finish to them.

Go check out the challenge, they always have super fun themes.

Thanks for taking the time,

Lawn Fawnatics - Fun with Dies

Happy Fri-yay! It was Spring Break this week in Quebec (not sure why, we are still in the thick of winter) but it was quiet for me at work and I was able to catch-up on some paperwork! I haven't submitted a project to a Lawn Fawnatics challenge in a while and I started playing with my new release products.

The challenge is Fun with Dies, I love Lawn Fawn dies this was a fun project for me and I haven't made a critter card in a while.

I mean this sloth! How cute is he and he was perfect to fit into the frame die. I wanted to use my new Really Rainbow 6x6 paper pack so I started by die cutting my background and chose complementary colors to die cut my Mini Picture Frame. I stamped my sloth and the birthday hat from last years sloth set using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink to use my Copics. I used the matching dies and started placing my elements to decided on a sentiment.

I went with the one of the stamps and dies from the original Happy, Happy Happy set. The original stamp has lines but I didn't want it to compete with the background stripes so I simply used my VersMark pen and made them solid lines. I white embossed the sentiment and die cut it.

I then stamped the Birthday from the same set on the smaller Lawn Fawn banner die but cut the die to size and kept the flag ends and simply glued them to the back.

The frame felt like it was missing a little something so I die cut a rainbow of tiny flowers from the new Spring Sprig set and glued them around the sloth. I added some Lawn Fawn black and white twine to the back of the frame and glued my elements to the background panel.

I used some Lucy's Little Things Rainbow Gems to finish it off.

If you love Lawn Fawn go check out the challenge!

Thanks for taking the time!
