Alright, now to the fun card I have to share with you-
Inspired By, Lawn Fawnatics
I absolutely LOVE every card that Samantha Mann creates, she has been on the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team with me for years, and she also has participated in my Get Cracking on Christmas series.
I didn’t even have to study her cards much to create my card because I know of some “signature sam style” that I love that I wanted to recreate on my card. The first thing I knew I wanted to do was to watercolor my images. Sam uses Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, I used Distress Watercolor Pencils. I stamped out some of the images from Fly High with Lawn Fawn Jet Black (which works for watercoloring AND alcohol-marker coloring) onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock, watercolored the images, and then die-cut them out. I added some small faces with Lawn Fawn’s 1.75″ mini block and Versafine onyx Black ink.
I then created the background, by masking out a section on Distress White Heavystock. I ink-blended a gradient with Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I used Simon Says Stamp blender brushes (that I store in my favorite brush caddy). Whenever I am ink blending I love to use the Ink Stands to hold my ink pads, I also use a small mister bottle filled with Isopropyl Alcohol, to quickly clean my table surface with a Flour Sack Cloth.
I then used the Cloud Background Stencils, only one of them, and spread some Distress Opaque Texture Paste. I had the clouds break the barrier of the ink-blended section just a bit, as Sam often does. I used the Wendy Vecchi Stay-tion to hold the stencil in place while I was adding the texture paste.
I then white embossed on Black Licorice Cardstock the sentiment “Flying By To Say” from the Fly High stamp set. Whenever I do ANY embossing, I prep the surface using the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool. I used Yeti Lawn Fawn pigment ink, and Alabaster White Brutus Monroe White Embossing Powder. I also stamped onto the card background “Happy Birthday” with Versafine Onyx Black from the Simply Sentiments stamp set.
Lastly, I added a touch of black and white washi tape, something that Sam does often on her cards. I didn’t glitter all of the things because I noticed Sam doesn’t glitter things very often, guess I need to work on jennabling her 😉
I hope you find this card inspiring, and that you join us in the challenge! You could win a $50 Gift Certificate from Lawn Fawn!!
