Warm Winter Wishes, Lawn Fawnatics

11/16/2020

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!

It’s all about our happy holiday critters this week. Have fun creating a card where critters are the focus.

Warm Winter Wishes, Lawn Fawnatics

For this card, I wanted to create a fun winter scene with Den Sweet Den. I wanted the bears to be polar bears, all cozy in their igloo den. I also decided to do a lot of masking to create the scene, instead of die-cutting and layering.

Masking can be tricky, especially if you are doing a lot of it because you basically have to work backward- that is tough for my creative brain sometimes hehehe. I wanted to share with you the process of how I plan it out.

Top left photo: I start out by stamping the scene on scrap paper, overlapping the stamps- but just to get a sense of placement of stamps and how much space it is going to take up. I also numbered each image in the order of stamping. Whatever is in the foreground is 1 and work your way back to the background images. Multiple images can be the same number and stamped at the same time.

Top right photo: I wanted the scene to be centered on my card so that it will peek through the stitched den layer I had planned so I then penciled in where the scene would land on my card base. Then using my “sketch” of the scene I start to position the stamps by lining them up before picking it up with the misti to stamp.

Bottom left photo: you can see here where I have stamped all the images I marked as 1’s

Bottom right photo: I also stamped these images on masking paper, fussy cut and am now covering them before I stamp the number 2 images

Top left: The larger bears were the number 2 images, so I stamped them next

Top right: Then I masked the bears. You keep following those steps: stamp, then mask, stamp, then mask

Bottom left: I realized I needed to fix my numbering system to make sure the 3 elements of the large present come out correctly

Bottom right: You can see here I am stamping the number 3 images. The present is actually three parts, so in this case, I am starting at the top with the bow and will work my way down.

Top left: the number 3 images are stamped

Top right: then they are masked

Bottom left: then onto the number 4 images, stamping

Once everything was covered with a mask, I then used the Brick Stencil and Kiddie Pool ink to lightly ink blend some “ice cubes” to create the igloo. I wanted the edges to run off, and for it to not be solid throughout. I also did this on another panel of white cardstock that I then cut out the Stitched Den from, to layer on top, creating their igloo home.

It is SO satisfying to peel off all of those masks and discover your adorable little scene! I then Copic colored the images. I used a Quickie glue pen and Prisma glitter to fill in between the ice, and then a Glue Tube and Chunky glitter to fill in the ground.

I love how soft and wintery it all looks!

I hope this helps you understand masking a bit more, and maybe my tips and tricks will inspire you to try it out!

    I love your explanation for your masking process! I’ve never seen anyone describe it this way and it’s really helpful! I’m a sucker for dies but you never know when this will come in handy!
