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 challenge is to use the above images as inspiration for your project.
Before I share my card I wanted to remind you that June 24th is Lawn Fawn release day! I will also be sharing details about my new online class AND the new Create with Us class as well. SO, before you do any shopping you will be able to see details and supply lists for both classes. Can’t wait to share all of this with you!

Alright, now to the card I have to share with you-
Happy Halloween, Lawn Fawnatics
Ok, I am the last one to wish summer away and hope for fall, but I was in the mood to make a Halloween card, and I create holiday cards all year long- why not?!? I love that the Plan on It sets have so many fun little images, and I went through and picked out all the Halloween-themed ones.
I created a background with these images, but they are also great when creating scenes with all your favorite Lawn Fawn critters.
This is how I created the background fairly quickly:
- picked out the individual stamps I wanted to use
- picked out the ink pads I was going to use (Lawn Fawn Carrot, Sunflower, Jalapeno, Juice Box and Versafine Onyx Black)
- I placed the stamps I was going to use with that particular ink, on the inkpad cover
- I made sure I had my stamp shammy nearby for easy cleaning
Another tool to make this MUCH easier was Lawn Fawn’s 1.75″ acrylic block, I love this little, but mighty block.
Even if you use a stamp positioner for all of your stampings, I would encourage you to get a few sizes in acrylic blocks, because they come in handy with certain techniques.
For the jack-o-lantern, I started with Distress White Heavystock and created some inky backgrounds with Distress Inks.
Orange:
- Wild Honey
- Carved Pumpkin
Green:
- Rustic Wilderness
- Mowed Lawn
Brown:
- Vintage Photo
- Walnut Stain
I then diecut the Outside In Stitched Pumpkin out of each of the inky backgrounds. On the orange panel, I also cut the jack-o-lantern face and layered black cardstock behind it.
For the sentiment, I cut apart one of the sentiments from Spooktacular, if you aren’t comfortable with cutting your stamps you can cover a part of the sentiment with a post-it while you ink it with the ink pad. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white embossed it with Brutus Monroe Alabaster white.
Lastly, I ink blended some Black Soot Distress Ink on the background and added a black Stitched Frame on the whole card.
I LOVE making Halloween cards, and I feel the season creeps up VERY fast and blows by too quickly, so I had a ton of fun creating this card now, in the summer. Hope it inspires you to join us in the challenge!
