Home Sweet Home

Great fun playing with my Lawn Cuts & woodgrain embossing folder. Lots of dimension, promarkers and distress inks. Hopefully I'll have more time to play with these stamps and the Spring/Summer promarker colours in the near future!

 

Challenges:

Lawnscaping Challenge #60: Dimension

Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Anything goes

7 or Less

I've been intrigued with Marie's 7 or Less Cardmaking Challenge. I usually use lots of Promarkers, glossy accents and glitter glue, so 7 or less items seemed a little impossible. I used Sketch Saturday #254 for the layout. I've improvised a speech bubble from Paisley die cut (solid shape) and stamped with distress stain on Island Lagoon Promarker solid background. If I hadn't been limited, I would have heat embossed the sentiment.

Challenges:
7 or Less Challenge #4 Optional Theme: Solid Shapes
Sketch Saturday #264: Your Favourite Sketch since Jen Started (#254)


Hope I make Marie's deadline, I've left this post until the last minute!

Mo Baby!

Dimension is what makes an easel card tick, so perfect for Lawnscaping Challenge #60. I used lots of layers raised up on foam dots for my central image and my easel stopper/main sentiment. Lawn Fawn's Quinn's ABC dies were also essential kit! I love colouring these, and now with the dies they're so easy to cut out and the foam dots fit perfectly.

I've been admiring this Mo image for ages, so with a christening reminder to be made, I had to get it! I also gave some of the new bright Spring/Summer Promarker colours a whirl.

Frog Prince

A fun birthday card for a little prince! I love how the googly eyes change the frog's expression.

The girls at Lawnscaping Challenge Blog have set the task of colouring, oh such a chore ;) I enjoyed this so much I've used two media: I've coloured the frog using promarkers & the lily pad with distress inks. My lily was constructed using different sizes of daisy punches for the petals & stamen, then coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks & glittered. The heart die cut was folded in half, drenched in lots of green distress inks, shaped & raised on pop dots. I followed an old Sketch Saturdays sketch #251. It reminds me of a pond & there is a lovely royal banner that is perfect for Casual Fridays Challenge #104.  I love these two Lawn Fawn patterned papers (Bright Side collection) used together & all hidden flowers on a masculine card.
