Hi, everyone! I am here today with the latest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. If you love Lawn Fawn you should definitely follow us over on that site- we have a fabulous team that offers inspiration and chances to win gift certificates to Lawn Fawn! This week we have a card sketch to inspire you!
Before I share my card I wanted to let you know that March is Lawn Fawn’s birthday and to celebrate that Kelly Marie and I will be hosting a FREE online class on Lawn Fawn’s Facebook page, March 13th. I also have another online Lawn Fawn card class that I will be hosting later this month. You can find all the details about both of these events here.
If you want to be sure to hear about all of these fun announcements, be sure to subscribe to my email newsletter.
Alright, now to the card I have to share with you-
Birthday Sunshines, Lawn Fawnatics
I am still having fun playing with the new release and I wanted to use the new Stitched Sun Frame die in a different way than you might obviously see.
I started by ink blending on some Distress White Heavystock with regular Distress Inks. For this whole card I used:
- Kitsch Flamingo
- Spiced Marmalade
- Squeezed Lemonade
- Twisted Citron
- Peacock Feathers
I then cut the Stitched Sun Frame out of each panel. I then started the background. For this I used another piece of Distress White Heavystock, this is my new favorite paper- it holds up to inky techniques SO nicely, and the colors are so vibrant and true.
I did some ink smooshing on the background, but to be able to get the colors exactly where I wanted them I used a piece of acetate to pick up the droplets of ink and transfer them to the background. I share this technique and a whole bunch of other fabulous info about Distress Inks in my Distress Ink Technique class, which you can still sign up for.
I then attached the coordinating suns to the background with a Lawn Fawn glue tube. Next, I squeezed out some Liquid Stardust onto a craft sheet and spritzed some water to mix with it. I then used a paintbrush to paint each sun to add some shimmer, and the water was playing with the Distress inks as well. So fun!
I then white embossed “happy” on black cardstock and cut it out from Happy Happy Happy Add-On: Family. I then die-cut scripty birthday and arranged these on the card. Lastly, I added a few sequins for some added sparkle!
