Hi Friends! It’s Caly with you today and we are having Fun with Food for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge!  I was checking to see the last time I used the Be Hap-pea set and it was a year ago for this exact challenge!

My kids don’t love peas.  If I had my way, I’d eat a different vegetable every day!  Why is eating healthy so difficult with kids?  Speaking of kids though – how about a fun birthday card because I never have one in my stash when I need one!  The Be Hap-pea set is perfect for a quick and fun birthday card!

Let’s start with the background because that requires some drying time. On a watercolor panel, I used only water to draw a large area for a watercolor wash. I smooshed Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks onto a glass mat and picked it up with my damp brush and allowed it to bloom and blend into each other. I kept applying more color until I was happy with the saturation. Then I set that aside to dry while I colored.

I stamped the images from the Be Hap-pea set and colored them with Copic markers.  So quick and easy when everything is green! I tried to sneak a bit of blue and pink onto the party hat too for some color.
Peas:  G02, G03, G05, G09
Peapod/Leaves:  YG13, YG06, YG09
Pinks:  RV21, RV25
Blues:  B02, B05

When the watercolor wash panel was dry, I used the largest die from the Outside In Stitched Rectangles to cut a stitching border around the panel before adhering my images to it with thin slivers of foam adhesive to give it lots of dimension.  My sentiment is embossed in white over black cardstock and I finished by adhering that to the top of my card.
I hope you like this sweet card!  Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly

Hi Friends! This is Caly with you today sharing a happy card using the Be Hap-Pea set for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge with the Fun with Food theme! Everyone loves peas right? You can’t not love these peas!

To create today’s card, I stamped a lot of images and vines from the Be Hap-Pea stamp set and colored them using Copic markers. It’s a lot of greens so I tried to use different color combinations to give the card more interest.

Copic Colors Used:
Leaves: YG11, YG13, YG17
Pods: YG61, YG63, YG67
Peas: G12, G14, G05
Blush: R20
Party Hats: RV52, RV55, V01, V05, B02, B05

After die-cutting all of my images, I set them aside to work on the background. I ink-blended my background using Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks. I started with Spun Sugar at the center, then added Worn Lipstick around the outer edges, moving about 3/4s of a way in without covering up the Spun Sugar, then I finished around the furthermost edge with Wilted Violet.

Before adhering my images down, I splattered my panel with white and plum-colored acrylic paint to give it more texture. Then I decided to die-cut some vellum clouds using the Simple Puffy Clouds dies to give my background even more interest and adhered them down first before attaching my images.

Next I attached my pea pods and then layered my peas using foam adhesive to give them dimension. I then attached the vines and leaves directly to the card panel under the foam-raised images. My sentiment is stamped with Noble Fir ink and paired with and embossed sentiment strip as well. To finish my card, I used my Gelly Roll pen to add white gel highlights to all the images to give them more interest.

I hope you enjoyed this card! This Fun with Food Challenge ends on Sunday, July 19th at 11:59pm PST! Be sure to link it up on the Fun with Food post! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
