Party time!

Hi there,

Awesome news...Lawn Fawn have started their own twice monthly challenge over at Lawnfawnatics.com! Chooo Chooo!  I do love a challenge as it's a fun way to get your creativity flowing, and boy oh boy am I a fully fledged paid-up member of the Lawnfanatics club already!  These guys can do no wrong in my eyes.

Lawn Fawn are celebrating their 7th birthday, so the 'theme' of the first challenge is 'Happy Birthday', and here's where it took me...

Because it's Lawn Fawn's 7th birthday, I thought it would be a really sweet idea to use an element from a set from each year they have been going, and set up a little party gathering to celebrate this milestone.  So in my head, all these wonderful and varied critters are on their way to a Lawn Fawn party in the woods.  Now yes, yes, it is rather unlikely that these creatures would ever be in the same place at the same time haha - but that's the beauty of our stamps isn't it?  It is only our imaginations that set the boundaries :)

All my elements are stamped out, coloured with Copics, and fussy-cut; and I used foam adhesive to try and help with the perspective, so the idea is that the scene is set in layers, like a long lense shot through a camera.

I love the idea I have in my head of all theses little critters, spanning all the years of Lawn Fawn's story so far, rocking up to a party in the middle of woods.

I'll list below what elements are from what sets and from what years etc, but all that's left for me to say is HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAWN FAWN, here's to the next seven.  Oh, and thank you so much for the new challenge!

Thanks for stopping by.

Meeting in a Winter Wonderland...

Hi everybody,

Hope you're well.

I'd love to share a card I've made for the current challenge going on over on the Lawnscaping Blog, and this time round, it's all about creating a 'Winter Wonderland'.

And here is where it took me...

I created a little critter meeting in a winter woodland :)

I gathered a whole load of critters from a whole load of different Lawn Fawn sets to create my scene. 

I started by stamping out and clear heat embossing a polka dot background, and inking it up using Victorian Velvet, Tumbled Glass, and Broken China Distress Ink.  I then spritzed with water and a couple different shimmer mists to create that nice winter glow.  I then stamped out my trees from the 'Joy to the Woods' set, all my cute little critters (I used about 5 different sets - all Lawn Fawn - so will list below), and coloured with my brand spanking new Copics (I still can't believe I own them and they really are mine all mine!).  I then fussy cut everything and, after adding a good amount of frosty glittery snowfall onto my trees, started to build up my scene using a ton of foam adhesive to give my little gang a heap of dimension.

My sentiment is from the 'Let's Play' set and is inside the banner from the 'Home Sweet Home' set and is stamped onto a piece of card I had covered in glitter to make it all lovely and frosty and sparkly :)

I am also going to add this to the Wednesday challenge over at Simon Say Stamp, where this week the challenge is to, 'Something new', which for me was using my new precious babies - my Copics!  ...now I just need to learn how to actually make them look any good lol!

Well, I really hope you like it, I'd love to read your comments so feel free to leave one!

Thanks for stopping by.
