Lawn Fawnatics - Happy Little Critters!

Happy Friday crafty friends! I haven't participated in a challenge in a while, so I decided I absolutely needed to play along with the Happy Little Critters Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! I mean, who doesn't love a Critter challenge!

I had such fun making this winter birthday scene! I chose the Sweet Critter Concert set because I love it and I have not had the chance to ink it up yet, eek! I stamped all of the Critter images and accessories on a piece of Neena 80lbs cardstock and colored them in with a series of Copic Sketch markers.  I used the accompanying dies and set them aside to work on my background.

I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock cut to A2 size and Ink blended Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Ink on the panel once that was complete I took my favourite Simon Says Stamp Star background stencil and I wanted gold embossing paste by alas, mine had dried out. So I took my clear glitter embossing paste and added some Distress Paint to it to make my own, I am super happy with the result. 

I put that aside to dry and die cut my Birch Trees from the Lawn Fawn White Woodgrain cardstock and added some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to give shading and dimension. I also die cut a piece of the Lawn Fawn glitter paper with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die (as was the background panel) and die cut either side with the opposing Stitched Hillside Border dies.

Once my background had dried I embossed my sentiment on the background panel and glued my trees. I added my "snow banks" and finally placed my critters on the panel. To finish off, I added my music notes to the scene! Go check out the fun challenge!

Needed a summer-like project!

I don't know about you, but I am not a fan if winter.  I don't know why I still live in Montreal in the winter months.  It hasn't been too cold or successive snow storms but we have had a mixed bag of precipitation which is frustrating.  So, I needed to be on a beach! What better than a fun beach scene featuring Lawn Fawn!

I used Octopi my Heart, Mermaid for You (rock and sentiment) stamp sets and the tree is from Critters from the Past.  I Copic coloured the images then used the coordinating dies.  For my background I die cut a Neena Solar White panel with the largest of the smaller Dotted Squares. I then used the Stitched Hillside Borders and the Spring Showers cloud dies to cut masks.  I used a mix of Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks for the water and only Tumbled Glass for the sky/clouds. I then die cut another square and used one of the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders for my "beach" then used a mix of Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks. I added some dot detail with the Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Markers along with my White Gellyroller. 

I stamped my sentiment with mix of Lawn Fawn Pink Flamingo Ink and Versafine Onyx Black. I then put the card together and added some sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!
