Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 63 – Card Sketch

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We have a fun challenge for you today and we hope you will have lots of fun with it! Use this card sketch as inspiration for your project! Follow it exactly or use your creative license to interpret it in a clever way!

We would love for you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, November 3rd at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry 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!

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

Christy‘s card is so beautiful! The silhouette of Santa’s sleigh flying over the moon and the snow frosted trees are from Ready Set Snow and they create a wonderful scene for the skating mouse!

Joyce‘s awesome design shows that she can think totally outside the box! Her Woodland Critter Huggers deer is the circle element and Mini String of Lights is the banner! How cute is this card?

Samantha followed the sketch pretty closely in making this awesome Halloween card! She combined Beam Me Up, Pick of the Patch, Hats Off to You and Holiday Party Animal along with Bunting Borders and a silver glitter Scalloped Circle! That inky green background is so cool!

Franci used the scripty sentiment from Mice on Ice to give the idea of a banner and Stitched Pond as the circle on her adorable card design! She added to the greeting using Offset Sayings: Christmas!

Samantha M flipped the sketch upside down! She used the Stitched Wave Borders as the banner and the half Rainbow as the circle! She finished her gorgeous design with Winter Narwhal and Christmas Fishes!

For everyone not ready to let go of Summer Karin created a beautiful card based on the card sketch! (Of course it’s still hot this week in So Cal so I’m more than ready for Fall!) Karin’s fun On the Beach scene uses the beach ball as the circle and the beach towel to suggest a banner!

Jessica‘s gorgeous card features Mice on Ice and Stitched Pond! The Stitched Snowflakes are a clever way to add the circle element from the sketch!

Caly got really creative and made a beautiful birthday shaker card! She used Stitched Cupcake and the cute little bunting from Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up for the sketch elements. Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables created the shaker window that works with the sketch! I love the Chunky Glitter on the cupcake frosting and the colorful “sprinkles” as shaker bits; it’s all in the details!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 62 tomorrow!

Jessica’s Costume Party Card!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Good morning! Jess here with a card for our current Inspiration Board challenge! I decided to use the colors as my inspiration with a little nod to the witch’s hat and the pumpkin! 😉

To start I stamped the cute kids and pumpkins from Costume Party and an extra big pumpkin from Pick of the Patch with Versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder before coloring them with Copic markers. I used the colors of the challenge photo as the colors of my costumes. When I was done coloring I die-cut everything with the coordinating dies. I also applied my glitter pen liberally to the witch’s costume!

Next, I blended Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide ink onto a panel of Strathmore Bristol cardstock. I splattered it with water and Liquid Stardust and let it dry. I also added splatters of white acrylic paint. Once it was totally dry, I die-cut it with the Snowy Backdrop die and adhered it to Sunflower cardstock to create a starry night sky instead of a snowy sky! Then I added the Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape cut from black licorice cardstock on top.

I stamped a sentiment from Costume Party onto Black Licorice cardstock and then die-cut it with the Simple Stitched Hillside dies. I adhered that over my background and then added my kids and their pumpkins! To finish the card I added accents with a white gel pen!

And that’s it! You have one more weekend to get crafty and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!
