Hear me Rawr!

Hi everybody,

Jill here, and this week I’m ‘rawr’ing sweet nothings...

...using Lawn Fawn’s delightful Rawr mini set.

Another absolute knock-out mini set from Lawn Fawn. Incredibly affordable and beyond cute, what’s not to want?!

I started by stamping out my cute little dinosaur, colouring with Copics, and cutting out.

I then stamped out my background using a few little pieces from Lawn Fawn’s Life Is Good to build up a scene and, again, coloured with Copics creating a (or attempting to) soft blends around the edges.  I then took the little speech bubble from the Rawr set and lightly stamped it all across my background for a little added fun.

My sentiment is also from Rawr and is stamped directly onto my background and heat embossed.

I add a few little hearts to embellish and to add a contrast colour so it wasn’t all too ‘matchy-matchy’.

I matted onto colour card and there you have.

Quite a young fun simple card (hopefully) showing how one teeny little stamp set can still pack a punch!

As always everything I used is linked below.

See you next week.

A Crabby Splash of Colour...

Hi everybody,

I'd like to share with you another card I have made for current challenge going on over on the delightful Lawnscaping blog, where this time round, the theme is 'Colour Splash', and is so kindly sponsored by the equally delightful Ellen Hutson...so who wouldn't want to win that, right?

And here's my card...

I started by stamping out this cute little crab, from the Lifes is Good set, directly onto my card panel for placement, and also stamped out my sentiment, from the same set, and clear heat embossed. I then took a few different distress inks - Picked Rasberry, Worn Lipstick, and Spiced Marmalade - and created a watercolour wash behind my crab and sentiment. I then stamped out my crab again onto a separate piece of watercolour card and coloured using Zig Clean Colour Brush Pens, fussy cut him, and adhered over the top of my original stamped image, with foam adhesive. 

Now I understand this challenge is about a 'splash' of colour, and I think I may have gone with abit more of a 'soaking' on this card, but hey-ho, who can stop themselves when having fun with Distress Ink?! 

I then matted my card panel onto a piece of black card and mounted the whole thing onto a white card base.  I embellished with a scattering of matching coloured sequins and that was that.

 I really hope you like it and would love to to read any comments so please feel free to leave them.

 Thanks for stopping by.

A splash of colour to brighten your life...

Hi guys,

Well, it's been a long time since I had a chance to play along with the delightful Lawnscaping Challenge blog, so I'm thrilled to be sharing a card today which I have made for the current challenge, and this time round, the 'theme' is 'Colour Splash'.

And here's my card...

First off, what an original theme?!  'Colour Splash - Make a black and white creation with a splash of colour' - a new one to me, and one which I thouroughly enjoyed, so much so...I made 2 cards :)  But we're here to talk about this one so...stick with the programme, Jill!

I started by stamping out this uber cute chick from the brand new Chirpy Chirp Chirp set, and the umbrella from the Hello Baby set, twice.  Once onto my card panel so I knew where I wanted my scene to be, and once on a seperate piece of card so I could colour, fussy cut, then over-lay back onto my card, for my 'Splash of Colour'.  I also cut and coloured a fragment of the Grassy Border die,

I then die-cut a circle from some masking paper and placed over my panel, took the raindrop stamp from the Hello Sunshine set, and repeatedly stamped it within my circle....which was a complete waste of time as you really can't tell it is in a circle haha.  I then stamped out a couple of clouds form the same Hello Sunshine set, onto a seperate piece of card, and fussy cut. 

I adhered all my elements in place using a mix of wet glue and foam adhesive, and stamped my sentiment, from the Life's a Beach set beneath, in black ink and clear heat embossed.

I then matted my panel onto black card to help my scene 'pop', mounted the whole thing onto a white card base, and that was that.

I really hope you like it and would love to read any comments so please feel free to leave one :)

See you soon.

One Layer Loveliness...

Hi there,

Today I'm sharing a card I have made for the current challenge going on over at the awesome Lawnscaping Challenge Blog.  This time round, the challenge is One Layer Cards, and is sponsored by the amazing Lawn Fawn themselves!  What's not to love about that, right?  So I had to play along.

And here's my card...

I started by stamping my strip of grass, and masking it off.  I then stamped out these oh so cute little bunnies from the 'Snow Day' set, and also masked them off.  I then built up and stamped out my 'hey' sentiment using Quinn's abc's, and removed all my masking.  I added the little balloon from the 'Party Animals' as I knew I wanted to add a pop of red to my card.

I coloured my little scene using Distress Inks as watercolour, and added a coat of Wink Of Stella, followed by Glossy Accents, to the bunnies, the 'hey' and, of course, the balloon.  

I finished my sentiment using a stamp from the 'Life is Good' set, and stamped it below the grass.

And there you have it.

I really hope you like it, and would love to read your comment so feel free to leave them :)

See you next time.

Jillxxx
