Lawnfawnatics Challenge 53: Spectacular skies

Hello everyone! I am participating again in a Lawnfawnatics challenge. The topic of the 53th challenge is "Spectacular skies".

First I thought about creating a sunset and a nice beach scene with the new stamps and dies. But then while listenting to some volbeat music I got the idea of a zombie-pirate type of card.

I started with the background by creating some DIY stencils. I used the 'porthole frames' die set to create a stencil for the moon and I used the 'simple stitched hillside borders' for the beach scene. I thought about doing a one-layer background but then I decided to adhere the beach on top of the background so that I can tuck in some images behind the beach.

For the spectacular sky I used scattered straw, twisted citron, mowed lawn, peeled paint and black soot distress ink. I absolutely love this combination because it looks like it is glowing. I added some water mixed up with pumic stone and antique linen distress ink to the moon.

The colors for the beach include antique linen, brushed corduroy, ground espresso and black soot. To add some sandy hills I used the 'sandy beach accents' dies. The same colors were used for two palm trees which I diecut with the new set 'hammock and tree'. 

After the background had been finished I stamped the images from the sets 'ahoy, matey', 'booyah' and 'you are sublime' with Lawn Fawn jet black ink and colored them with Copic markers. Some images were a little bit customized although I always want that the original stamp image remains visible.

I diecut everything and assembled the card. Before adhering the scene to a craft card base I had distressted the edges of the background for more interest!

Smurf birthday card | Lawn Fawn

Hello everyone! I can't find so much crafty time lately but I try to be ok with it because it hopefully will change again. Today I want to share a personalized smurf birthday card with you. I used lots of different Lawn Fawn products to create this interactive card.

I started with creating the simple background using mowed lawn, tumbled glass and salty ocean distress inks together with a grassy hill stencil. I repeated the same background on the 'magic picture changer add-on' frame die so that I could layer it onto the background. I added some water droplets too.

Then I traced the two dies of the 'magic picture changer' set on watercolor paper and started stamping the sweet gnome as well as the speech bubble from the 'oh gnome!' stamp set. I used versafine ink and colored it in with Zig clean color real brush markers. On the "before" side I colored the beard in a brown color and added the number 49 to the speech bubble on the "after" side I used grey for the beard and stamped 50. I also added a small gift to the second one. After masking off the images I applied some antique linen distress ink on top of it.

I stamped some more images from the oh gnome! set and also the 'Toadally Awesome' and 'Fairy Friends' stamp sets and colored them in too. The rest of the elements are from the two die sets 'mushroom house' and 'mushroom border'. I applied the same distress inks as before to the diecut elements together with barn door for the red mushroom parts. After diecutting everything I could assemble my interactive card.

First I created the magic picture changer. Then I cut a window into the big mushroom die which would fit the magic picture changer window. I adhered it on top of the changer and added all the other element around it. The sentiment is from the 'reveal wheel sentiment' stamp set.

Last but not least I adhered the changer onto the background using foam tape and chose a white cardbase.
