BEST WISHES CARD | LAWN FAWN

Hello my dear crafty friends, welcome back.. :)

The colors that hit my mind when I think of Autumn or Fall is the Muddy Earthy Tones. For my whole card I used only Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Gold Paint. I don't have any autumn themed Lawn Fawn stamps in my stamp so I decided to use the feather from Dream Stamp Set as my leaf. Cool, isn't it? Let's start, shall we?

CARD DETAILS

I started by ruffling the pattern paper from Inspired by Stamping and added Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the highlights of the paper. I did the job with the help of an ink blending tool and foam. You can see the torn edges.. that adds so much interest to the card design. Then I adhered the ruffled pattern paper to the main card base.

Next I took another thick card stock which is smaller than the main card base and acrylic block ink smooshed the background, the ink used was Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Once it is dry, I added splatters of the same ink and gold paint. To the edges of the panel I added gold paint.

Then I took another smaller panel, distressed the edges with a distressing tool by Sizzix and adhered on top of the card. I also added burlap to it.

I stamped the feather or leaf with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and colored in with Gold Paint. I foam mounted the image on the burlap panel.

I also stamped the sentiment, it's from Stuck on You by Lawn Fawn, cut into a strip and adhered on top beneath the image. I also embellished the card with a few clear and steel sequins.

And that finishes the card for today. I was very much inspired by Audrey Pettit's Card shared on Ranger Ink Blog. But I've added my own twist to it. I hope you like it. I'm entering this card for LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 61: AWESOME AUTUMN

Thank you for stopping by today. See you soon :)

HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• I followed the sketch of Lawnfawnatic's current Sketch Challenge. So I trimmed a white panel slightly smaller than the main card base and die-cut a circle out of it using Circle Framelit Dies and Big Shot Plus Machine.
• I also die-cut the brick wall from Mixed Media #3 out of white card stock.
• Over the smaller panel I ink blended half of the portion with Sweet Sixteen and the remaining with Bellini inks.
• To add more depth and interest, I added splatters of water, gold and silver paint to the panel. The background was really shiny and beautiful but the camera couldn't capture it well.
• Onto the main card base, I applied Pixie Dust ink where the window is present. To create more depth I added splatters of water and blotted the excess with a tissue paper.
• I stamped all the solid images with Archival Green ink and Party Dress Ink on white card stock. I also stamped the deer and colored them with Permanent Pens fussy cut them and kept aside.
• I glued the brick wall die-cut over the smaller panel and stacked the animals inside the window and adhered all the solid stamped images forming a wreath.
• Finally stamped the sentiment on vellum card stock and gold embossed it.
• To embellish the card I added a few clear sequins from Mudra.

3D LAYERED CARD | LAWN FAWN

Masking and stamping are my all time favorite techniques and also I love using happy and bright colors on my cards to make the card designs more cheerful. I never tried making a 3D Layered Card and I must admit it wasn't that easy! Last night, the idea of this card hit my head, after so much of experimenting, designing, stamping and masking, here is the final result. I like the color combo and the card design very much. :)

My card mainly features Stuck on You and Year Four stamp sets from Lawn Fawn. I used Lime Rickey and Garden Party inks from Catherine Pooler designs. Also used Neon Pink ink by Hero Arts, Manganese Blue, Archival Jet Black ink, Broken China DI and Peeled Paint DI by Ranger. I water colored the images with school water color cakes.

HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• I took four card panels of equal size. On the front and the third panels I stamped and masked the images from Stuck on You stamp set in different inks.
• On the second panel I stamped the Hippo, birdie and balloon with Archival Jet Black Ink and water colored them with school water color cakes.
• Onto the fourth panel I distressed the background with Broken China Distress Ink, added splatters of water and let the panel the dry for sometime.
• I also distressed the edges of the three panels with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.
• Next I fussy cut all the three card panels and adhered it to the fourth panel with the help of flaps I created earlier.
• Finally finished the card by stamping the sentiment from Year Four stamp set with Archival Jet Black Ink.

Stamping with Distress Inks

Hello everyone! Good morning to you all. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, just to kick off the Monday blues I'm here sharing a very quick card made for Lawnscaping Challenge: Distress Maniacs. I literally used what I had on my desk, no plan, no designing and no sketching, I just went with the flow! And I had to admit that I had so much fun while making this card :)

I LOVE masking technique! It's really a stress buster and it sharpens your mind also, so when you are bored or when you feel like your mojo is gone, try this technique and I promise you'll be back to your normal may be sometimes a little more creative than expected! :p

CARD DETAILS

I stamped and masked all the images from Stuck on you and Toboggan Together with Distress Inks - Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers, Vintage Photo, Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries. I masked all the images and rubbed Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink on to the background. This created so much texture and interest to the card. I, then flicked some splatters of distress inks, I love adding tiny droplets of ink on my cards! And finally stamped the sentiment with Black Soot Distress Ink. And for the finishing touch I drew along the stamped images with a black permanent marker and stamped a few hearts and distressed the panel with a pair of scissors and dabbed the Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

And that finishes the card for today. I hope you like it. Thank you so much for stopping by, take care and I will see you soon :)
