Lawnscaping Challenge

Hello there!

I am playing along with the Lawnscaping Challenge today!

Ooooh, watercoloring!

Here is my card...

Everything was water colored! 

I had wanted to use my rainbow die since I got this months ago!

I die cut it in watercolor paper, then colored each line individually. After assembling the rainbow back together, I sprayed some water with the spritzer on it. 

The sun and clouds were die cut then water colored also.

I water colored the background with Soft Sky, but it turned out to be a lot more green than blue like Pool Party! 

I heat embossed the sentiment with white, but it's hard to see in this photo, isn't it... sorry :-(

My notes...

Paper: Soft Sky, Watercolor Paper

Lawnscaping Challenge

Hi there, friends!

Today I am sharing the card I made for the Lawnscaping Challenge!

How fun!

Here is my take...

It's a coloring book page!

When I first saw the winter wonderland theme, I immediately grabbed this adorable alpaca stamp set, which I've had since its release but hadn't had a chance to play with!

I stamped this cutie with Stazon on my watercolor paper, then roughly colored the scarf like a child would. You cannot see it but the alpaca is colored with the white chalk marker. 

I scribbled with the Smoky Slate marker then went over it with the wet paint brush.

This sentiment is just so stinkin' cute!

It was heat embossed with Crushed Curry and Smoky Slate on vellum, then die cut with the Gift Tag die. 

My original design was to just make a wintery scene with the alpaca, but I saw the crayon stamp and thought, hmmm... I think it turned out so cute! That pretty blue patterned paper was a real good choice too! 

My notes...

Stamp: Winter Alpaca, Color My World (Lawn Fawn)

Paper: Whisper White, Smoky Slate, So Saffron, Vellum, Watercolor Paper, Pint-Sized Patterns: Beachside Collection Pack (Lawn Fawn)

Ink: Versamark, Stazon Jet Black, Smoky Slate, So Saffron, White Chalk Marker

Lawnscaping Challenge

Hello lovelies!

It's Christmas eve today already! I still have a lot of presents to wrap...

I am playing along with the Lawnscaping Challenge, the theme was perfect!

I had wanted to make this card and finally did!

Here it is...

This stamp set is SO CUTE!!!

I am a huge Shaun the Sheep fan, so anything sheep is irresistible! 

besides, look at the sentiment...:-D

I stamped this cute woolly couple with Memento Ink, then colored their skin with the gray Copic marker. They look so happy, make me smile! :-)

I stamped the mistletoe image 3 times then layered them using different thickness of foam tape. Then got a pretty long piece of ribbon and made a small bow, and let the rest hang.

"is ewe" was a bit shadowed by the sheep couple so I added that tiny heart from another stamp set. most Lawn Fawn stamp sets have cute tiny hearts, I love them!

My notes...

Stamp: Baaah Humbug, Feel Better (Lawn Fawn)

Paper: Whisper White, Gumball Green, Gold Soiree SDSP

Ink: Gumball Green, Real Red, Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, Copic Marker, Wink of Stella Gold Glitter Pen

Happy Hawoollween!

Hi there!

This week has gone so fast, but I don't feel like I've done that much...yikes!

My twins and baby girl would nap at the same time but the little one decided she wants to go down earlier, and get up right after the twins go down! So I didn't get to play this week until today! Silly girl...

I am playing along with 2 challenges!

The Sparkle and Shine Challenge is closing this challenge tomorrow! 

Just in time!

And the Lawnscaping Challenge is having this cute theme! 

I couldn't pass it!

Here is my take...

Is this cute enough for you!?

I got the colors from the Sparkle and Shine Challenge photo ;-)

When this cute, woolie guys were released, I just had to have them!

Have you ever seen the show from the UK "Shaun the Sheep"? My favorite show!! I watch it with my kids over and over, and I cannot get enough of that flock of fleece guys!

So instead of the cute ghosts, I dressed this fluffy guy to go trick or treating;-) I lightly colored his wool with Sahara Sand to give a warmer look. 

I don't know what I would do if I couldn't water color to make my cards! 

I water colored my watercolor paper with Rich Razzleberry, splashing some water at the end to get distressed look. Then I die cut the sentiment.

I finally got to use the Owens ABCs stamp set! So cute!!

Ha "wool" lween...you know, because of my woolie cutie...;-p 

They were heat embossed with the Tangerine Tango Emboss Powder on the Basic Black Cardstock, then punched out with the 1/2" Circle Punch. I also punched a couple stars with the water colored piece, why not!?

I am not sure what I'm going to do with all these Halloween cards I have made this year... It certainly is a lot of fun making them since I LOVE Halloween!

My notes...

Stamp: Booyah, Baaah Humbug, Owen's ABCs (Lawn Fawn)

Paper: Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Watercolor Paper, Howlstooth and Scarybone DSP, Designed Vellum (Papertrey Ink)

Ink: Smoky Slate, Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango, Versamark, Stazon Jet Black

Lawnscaping Challenge

Hello there!

Today I am playing along with the Lawnscaping Challenge!

This is actually pretty difficult, don't you agree!?

Well, here is my one layer card!

I knew I wanted to watercolor, it just gives so much drama!

I went through my Lawn Fawn stamp collection to pick which set to use, I just love my little crayon! Besides, this sentiment is perfect! ;-)

I heat embossed the sentiment then used the smooshing technique. 

I die cut crayons in those 5 colors then realized that would be another layer! So I heat embossed one crayon, colored it with Calypso Coral instead.

I used the heat tool for embossing and drying the ink so the card is warped...*oops*

My notes...

Stamp:  Color My World (Lawn Fawn)

Paper: Watercolor Paper

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Soft Sky, Pumpkin Pie, Versamark

Tool: Heat Tool, White Stampin' Emboss Powder

Lawnscaping Challenge

Hello my crafty friends!
I am sharing the card I made for the Lawnscaping Challenge today!

How fun is this!?

Here is my take...

I thought it would look cute in front of my cacti but not so much, is it.....*lol*

So the first thing that came to me was to use the metallic gold embossing paste!

okay, I just wanted to play with it, but it adds so much texture, right!?

I die cut one of the Stitched Hillside Borders from Lawn Fawn in wax paper, taped it down onto my watercolor paper, then applied the paste. I purposely made those lines (not that I could have smoothed it out if I tried...).

Who doesn't love this adorable cactus stamp from Lawn Fawn!?

I heat embossed it with the Gumball Green emboss powder to add another texture. Then I added that pretty little flower sequin, another texture!

More textures! 

The yellow paper is color core cardstock from Core'dinations.

Then the smooth and shinny vellum clouds! 

I just love the Spring Showers Lawn Cuts, so cute!!

This was really fun to make! And surprisingly, quite quick to make! 

I think this card looks like a little child made it, must be the messy paste...but it was fun! That's what really matters, right!? *hee hee;-)*

My notes...

Stamp: Stuck on You (Lawn Fawn)

Paper: Gumball Green, Watercolor Paper, Design Vellum (Papertrey Ink), Color Core Cardstock (Core'dinations) 

Ink: Versamark, Soft Sky

Accessory: Sweetheart Mix Flower Sequins (Paper Sweeties)

Tool: Heat Tool, Gumball Green and White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Stitched Hillside and Spring Showers Lawn Cuts (Lawn Fawn), Metallic Gold Embossing Paste (Dreamweaver Stencils)

Hope you enjoyed it!

Back to School!

Hi there, lovelies :-)

Today I am playing along with 2 challenges!

Back to school theme for Sparkle and Shine Challenge. 

My first time playing Lawnscaping Challenge! 

And here is my card ;-)

The colors were inspired by the Sparkle and Shine Challenge

How cute are these crayon guys!? 

I heat embossed them with this black emboss powder with glitter, but they didn't really get the glitter...what the heck!?

I stamped a few dates on the Typeset SDSP making it look like it's a library card. Then I adhered some alphabets and numbers, then some loops as doodling. I used the same colors as the crayons. 

I don't know if you noticed in the back to school photo, but there are rulers in one of the mason jars. I have many washi tapes from Japan and I thought this ruler/measuring tape was so cute on this card. Yes, it's in centimeters *Ha Ha*

I haven't finished my oldest son's school supply shopping! *eeeek*

Part of the reason is probably because I don't even want to think about getting up early in the morning to send him off to school...I HATE mornings! I know, I'm awful...;-p

My notes...

Stamp: Color My World (Lawn Fawn), Date Stamp (Target $1 Shelf)

Paper: Thick Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Gumball Green, Typeset SDSP, Stack with Love DSP Stack, Notebook Paper (Lawn Fawn)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark

Accessory: Ruler Washi Tape (MT from Japan)

Tool: Heat Tool, Black Emboss Powder (Ranger), Color My World Lawn Cut (Lawn Fawn), Glasses Wise Cut (Paper Smooches), Die-namics Loops Border, Emmitt Alphabet and Number (My Favorite Things)
