- Nancy Krueger 13 Comments

Hello Fawnatics Friends! We have a fun new challenge for you! This time we have a card sketch to spark your creativity! Create a new card project using the sketch as your guide. Follow it exactly or use some artistic license! Link up your project that features Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers below! This challenge will run for 3 weeks and be open until Sunday, May 5th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

We are so happy to welcome Lynn Kramer-Put as our amazing Guest Designer for this challenge! You may know her as thequeensscene on Instagram and her blog! I know her lovely card designs will inspire you!

Lynn created a gorgeous Double Slider Surprise card featuring Be Hap-pea! I love how she incorporated the diagonal stripe from the sketch by placing a pea pod in the top right and bottom left corners, that is just so clever! She added lots of beautiful color with the Spring Fling papers!

Now let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by the card sketch!

Samantha created a clean and simple design without extra layers! Her cute Mermaid for You couple are featured on a beautiful watercolor wave mimics the diagonal stripe!

Joyce omitted the diagonal stripe completely and chose to use the circle shape to create an adorable Oh Gnome scene! She also switched the sentiment to the opposite side! She layered the Stitched Circle with a Zig Zag Circle to frame her scene which she made using Meadow Borders, Simple Puffy Clouds and trees from Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape!

Christy followed the sketch pretty closely when creating this fabulously fun RAWRSOME design! She added in the stripes using Cilantro, Peacock and Fake Tan cardstock on the Narwhal background. The cute stitched clouds are found in the Spring Showers die set!

Grace created her diagonal wave pattern using a Scalloped Rectangle as a stencil for ink blending! Then she used an Outside In Stitched Circle to make the shaker window for the Get Well Before ‘n Afters whales (one of which is mirror stamped).

Jessica color coordinated her Layered Butterfly with a lovely watercolor painted stripe! I love how she added the sparkly silver butterfly body!

The For You, Deer bear is so adorable just hanging out on Karin‘s cheery polka dot card design!

Franci followed the sketch using shiny foiled stripes! Isn’t it so cute how her Butterfly Kisses scene goes beyond the Scalloped Circle background?

Samantha‘s sweet thank you card combines Chirpy Chirp Chirp with with How You Bean?! She created the sketch background using Spring Fling papers!

Jenn created a magical rainbow undersea world for her sketch card! She used Mermaid for You and a rainbow of cardstock and ink colors along with glittery gold sparkle cardstock! The greeting is from Wavy Sentiments stamped on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 3 weeks and of course we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 50 tomorrow!

Samantha‘s super cool snow-globe card features Ready Set Snow in a fun and unique design! The Christmas greeting is found in our Say What? Christmas Critters set!

Joyce created a fun card with the cute bear in a sleigh from our Oh What Fun set! I love the gift packages tumbling out behind the sleigh, it’s such an adorable detail!

Jessica‘s sweet Stitched Circle Tag features a cute knitting sheep from Baaah Humbug along with a punny sentiment from the same set!

Franci‘s charming scene combines the cute critters bums from For You, Deer with the row of trees from Simply Celebrate Winter! She added a happy greeting from Snow Day!

Franci was so inspired she made a second card for this challenge! This one features our trumpet playing bear from Critter Concert! He’s playing in a Christmas concert on a stage created using our Shadow Box Card and the Shadow Box Card Theater Add-On!

Karin combined Oh What Fun with a Winter Village tree and the cute little village from Ready Set Snow with a gorgeous snowy night sky! She finished her card with a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Christy bright and happy card features Winter Unicorn frolicking in some Puffy Cloud Borders with the cute unicorn from our special (no longer available) Black Friday gift set “A Little Sparkle”! The candy cane stripes add some whimsy and create a frame for the scene using a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window!

The Toboggan Together deer play nicely with the cute little deer from Say What? Christmas Critters on Samantha‘s delightful card! Her greeting combines sentiments from both of the stamp sets!
