Retirement Card | Lawn Fawn

Hello everyone! I think most of you agree that the 'magic picture changer' die from Lawn Fawn is really addictive (at least I can guess from the IG posts). There are endless possibilities and I used it to create a unique retirement card for my mother's colleague. She is now a dress maker and plans to travel a lot when she retired in a few days. So I came up with this design to match her plans perfectly :)

I started with creating two little scenes using the 'sewn with love' and 'ahoy, matey' stamp sets from Lawn Fawn. I also used the little girl from 'screen time' and added some needles to her hands to create the illusion that she is sewing something. 

I colored the images with Copic markers and added distress oxide ink blending to the background (tumbled glass and scattered straw). Then I used the magic picture changer dies to diecut the pieces. For the second part I used or the "slider piece" I also diecut one from ink blended cardstock and doubled the cardstock so that it was easier to slid in and out without warping.

I also stamped lots of other images from the stamp sets with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored them in with Copics too. I would use them for decorating the space around the picture changer.

For the background I blended more distress oxides (abandoned coral, dried marigold, scattered straw) as well as for the frame of the 'magic picture changer add-on' (pine needles, peacock feathers).

I used two layers of foam tape to adhere the interactive piece to the cardbase after assembling the magic picture changer. Then I added the other images and the sentiment from 'rub-a-dub-dub'.

To sum everything up you can watch the short photostory:

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:
