There’s Gnome One Like Dad

Wednesday, May 13th, 2020

The current challenge over on the Lawn Fawnatics blog is “Anything But a Card”. I created this gift tag for Father’s Day using the Lawn Fawn Gnome Sweet Gnome and Toadally Awesome stamp sets along with their Woodgrain Background die. I’m also using some new additions to my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers, the Vintage Blends set to color my images.

The current challenge over on the Lawn Fawnatics blog is Little Things. So I used some of the smaller stamps from the Lawn Fawn Toadally Awesome stamp set to create a little nighttime frog scene. I used Spectrum Noir Markers to create an ombre’ background.

Roar, Roar Gryffindor!

Wednesday, July 10th, 2013

The current challenge at the Lawnscaping blog is a sketch. I decided to use the Lawn Fawn Critters Ever After set to make a Harry Potter inspired card. In addition the pattern paper is from Cosmo Cricut and the alphabet is CTMH.

Have a Narwhal of a Time

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012

The challenge this week over on the Lawnscaping Challenge blog is to use text.

Narwhal Card

I use two Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Critters in the Sea and Critters Ever After. I wanted to turn my cute whale into an even cuter Narwhal (If you don’t know these are whales that have one large spiral horn on the top of their head, I love them) so I added the horn from the unicorn stamp to turn him into one.

narwhal steps

I started by curving the text stamp into a wave shape, I love the flexibility of clear stamps! Then I stamped it repeatedly onto vellum paper and cut it out with a wave shape at the top.

I then stamped my whale into polka dot pattern paper (My Mind’s Eye) cut it out and inked the edges using a sponge dauber.

narwhal steps

I stamped just the top of the unicorn onto scrap brown paper twice and cut out the horns, layering them to make one longer horn. And glued it to the whale’s head.

I adhered my vellum paper onto striped pattern paper (also My Mind’s Eye) and blue cardstock, putting the adhesive on the vellum where the ribbon would go so it wouldn’t show. Then wrapped the ribbon around adding a knot and button. I adhered those layers to my brown cardstock base.

Lastly I stamped stars and colored them with a glitter gel pen and tucked the Narwhal a little under the vellum. I think he turned out so cute!

Potions Class

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

I envision this scene happening in Snape classroom at Hogwarts 🙂

The current challenge at Lawnscaping is to make your own pattern paper. I used three different Lawn Fawn sets for my card, the broom from Making Frosty Friends, the witches hat and top hat from Hats off to You and the frog (toad), stars, flames and wand from Critters Ever After. I made two pattern papers, the purple uses stars from the Critters Ever After set and the stone wall paper is made from the top hat from Hats Off to You. I used a post it note to mask off the bottom part of the hat and stamped the top half for my stones (see pics below). Everything is colored with colored pencils and blended with Gamsol. The cauldron die cut is from Silhouette.

Puff the Magic Dragon

This big guy better be careful or he’s going to set his pinwheel on fire!

Dragon Blowing Pinwheel Card

This weeks Lawnscaping Challenge is to use dimension. I just got the Lawn Fawn Critters Ever After set and I ADORE it! I decide to give my card a lot of dimension by making a 3-D pinwheel and adding thick foam dots behind my dragon. All stamps are from Lawn Fawn and the pattern paper is from Cosmo Cricket.
