Lawn Fawnatics Challenge No. 46 | Color inspiration

Hi everyone! I managed to create a last-minute entry for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge No. 46 Color inspiration. I love the colors of this challenge so I had to participate no matter what.

It was also a great possibility to finally use the adorable 'let's toast' stamp and die set.

First I created a watercolor background with my Mijello mission gold watercolors. I mixed some reds and purples and also sprinkled gold from the Gansai Tambi Stary Colors palette. After letting it dry I cut it down and sketched my birthday card.

(sorry this is upside down^^)

The images I stamped are from the lets toast stamp set as well as from the 'thanks a latte' and 'pick of the patch' sets. I colored them all in with Copic markers. Then I created the pull mechanism for the sweet toaster. I used all the dies from 'let's toast pull tab add-on' for this fun part (you will see the steps in the photostory below).

For additional interest I diecut the 'quilted backdrop' die from white cardstock, adhered it again on plain white cardstock and then to the background. I added all the other images as well. For the sentiment I heat embossed the "poppin' up to say..." with gold sparkle embossing powder and I stamped the happy birthday from 'reveal wheel sentiment' with cranberry Lawn Fawn ink onto the toast (I should have done that before adhering everything but it fortunately it worked nevertheless).

Last but not least I chose a white cardbase and adhered everything. The toaster, sentiment strip and the whole background are adhered with foam tape, all the other images with liquid glue.

As promised, here is the short photostory:

Thank you for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Spotted birthday | MFT

Howdy! As promised I made a second card using the Toy Story squad from 2 weeks ago since I stamped and colored the images from 'saddle up and celebrate', 'best in the west' and 'delightful dinosaurs' two times.

I created the background with the new Sizzix 3D lumber embossing folder (it is AMAZING) and blended some distress oxide inks. I also distressed the edges of the paper.

I pimped the white cardbase with black soot distress oxide ink and the MFT stencil 'cow print'. I adhered the background piece askew on top of it.

For the images I used liquid glue except for Woody and Rex whom I adhered with foam dots. 

Before that I had stamped the awesome sentiment from saddle up and celebrate directly on the background piece.

I hope you like the card and thank you for stopping by!

Flutter By Me | Clearly Besotted Teasers June

Hello there! I am so excited and honored to be guest designer for Clearly Besotted for the June release! I love the cute images of this lovely stamp company. I hope you will be inspired by my card creations.

'Flutter by me' is beautiful stamp set with the outlined and filled butterfly images. For my cards I decided to only use the outlined ones.

I took two pieces of watercolor paper and stamped the butterflies with Versamark. Then I heatembossed them with white embossing powder. Next I applied some watercolors on top of the embossed images. I chose a rainbow color palette to go along with the sentiment.

I made one vibrant rainbow and a lighter version. After it was dry I stamped the encouraging sentiments and cut the watercolor pieces to strips of paper.

I chose one dark grey and one white card base for my projects and added a strip of glitter paper too. 

Last but not least I adhered some clear sequins.

Thank you for stopping by and stay tuned for more awesome products and teasers!

Make some noise | MFT

Hello everyone! I am showing you another happy birthday card with new MFT stamps. First I stamped the cute animals from 'Jungle Vibes' with Memento tuxedo black. I used the masking technique so that it looks like a great "snapshot". Then I colored the images with Copic colors.

For the background I heat embossed the background stamp 'musical notes background' with white embossing powder and blended some distress inks on top of it. Then I diecut the 'square peek-a-boo window' die and adhered everything to a craft cardbase.

The sentiment for the set is stamped with a brown ink and added to the card. I added some clear sequins for more interest.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
