New Lawn Fawn

I really, really love all of the new spring 2018 Lawn Fawn products. My new goodies arrived yesterday at about 12:45 and I actually walked down to the mailbox the instant the mailman pulled away lol. This card is the result of a week-long planning session in my head. :) the new Quilted Backdrop is so stunning and elegant--I was lucky most of the little "eyelet" pieces stayed in, since that was the look I was going for. I covered the back of the piece with regular scotch tape to keep them in place before running it through with the stitched oval. The "happy birthday" die cut lacked a little something, so I cut another piece in Storm Cloud cardstock and layered them for a tint bit of subtle dimension. I coated the flowers, the "balls" on the sprig pieces, and the sentiment in wink of Stella and then glossy accents for an enameled look. It's really pretty in person. :)

Supplies (all by Lawn Fawn, unless otherwise noted):
Quilted Backdrop die
Large Stitched Oval Stackables
Spring Sprig die
Raspberry, Sunflower, Cilantro, Moonstone, and Storm Cloud cardstock

Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables
Other: Glossy Accents, Wink Of Stella, foam tape

Lawnfawnatics Inky Fingers Challenge

Instagram:  @amypeach1978

Supplies (all by Lawn Fawn, unless otherwise noted):
Ahoy Matey stamps and dies
Deep Sea, Moonstone, Doe, Walnut, and Pumpkin Spice ink pads
Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape
Other: Copic markers, wink of Stella, glossy accents, foam tape, watercolor cardstock

I started out trying to watercolor a sunset onto the watercolor card front--the orange at the bottom didn't look like a sunset, so then I thought I would die cut the top out of it with the Stitched Hillside Backdrop. Once I did that, the resultant panel looked kind of like the ocean and sand, so I pulled out Ahoy Matey and played up the sand/sky effect. I ink blended doe ink over the orangish bottom part, then stippled Walnut ink over that. I white heat embossed some waves and used Deep Sea ink to stamp other waves.  I popped up all of the images in the front to give the card more depth and dimension.  I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out--it's always a lesson in persistence when something doesn't turn out the way you originally envisioned it--don't throw it away, just change directions! :)

It took me a while to be happy with this card. I had the hearts, squares, and gray panel all adhered down, but then the left side of the card looked weird and bland.  A couple days ago I added the patterned paper strip, and then yesterday I added the sentiment banner and Lawn Trimmings twine and that pulled it all together.
