Happy Summer, Lawn Fawnatics

07/31/2020

Hi, everyone! I am back again with another card for 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!

Not sure if you knew, but I design all the badges for these challenges. Whenever we have an inspiration photo for the challenge, I love to try and recreate the challenge image with Lawn Fawn stamps, and this one was wicked fun!

Happy Summer, Lawn Fawnatics

For this card, I started with the background. I wanted it to look like the wooden boards in the inspiration photo. I started by ink blending Lawn Fawn Merman ink all over a white card panel. I then cut the panel into 5 pieces. Next, I took one of the Stitched Border dies, and edged each of the “boards”. I then inked one of the long edges with Lawn Fawn Peacock Ink to darken that edge.

Then I started creating the sweet summer treats on the card. Starting with the ice cream cone I die cut the ice cream from I scream you scream die set. I cut the top of the ice cream out of Ballet Slippers’ cardstock and inked the edges with Bubblegum ink. I die cut the cone out of Paperbag cardstock and inked the edges with Walnut ink.

Lawn Fawn, I scream, you scream

Next, I created the popsicle. I die cut the top out of Distress Watercolor cardstock and the stick out of kraft cardstock. I watercolored the popsicle with Sunflower, Bubble Gum, and Merman Lawn Fawn ink. I then inked the edges of the popsicle with the coordinating colors as I watercolored. I inked the edge of the popsicle stick with Doe Lawn Fawn ink.

Lastly, I created the watermelon using the new Stitched Rainbow. I used Cilantro, Guava, and Black Licorice cardstock.

Note the cheeks from the stitched rainbow is what I used for the watermelon seeds!

For the sentiment, I cut “happy” from Big Scripty Words.

You can see an easy way to die cut and stamp these words to get perfect placement every time here.

For the word “summer”, I stamped letters from Quinn’s abc’s with Sunflower Lawn Fawn ink, cut out rough squares, and inked an ombre with the same Sunflower ink pad.

Distress Stickles, Dry Glitter, Clear Rock Candy

Prisma Glitter, Lawn Fawn

Black Glaze Pens

For finishing touches, I used Glossy Accents on the popsicle. I then used a Lawn Fawn glue tube and Rock Candy Distress Glitter on the edge of the ice cream and popsicle. I used a quickie glue pen and Prisma glitter on the “summer” letters and the rind of the watermelon. I then added glossy accents over the rind of the watermelon. Lastly, I used a black glaze pen on the watermelon seeds.

I just LOVE how this card came out… I might not be able to share it with anyone just yet! You have this weekend to enter our challenge- hope you get a chance to be creative!
