Beam Up Some Fun Card Sketch Inspiration with Christy

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

We have reached the last weekend for our Card Sketch challenge! We will introduce a new challenge on Monday, but there’s still time to get those card sketch projects entered in the current challenge!


Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card using our current Card Sketch! For this one, I was thinking space, so I pulled out Beam Me Up and Out of this World. I stamped my images with Jet Black Ink and colored them with Copic markers.

For my background, I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock. The colors I used were Candied Apple, Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, and Blueprint Sketch. Then I darkened up the panel with Black Soot.

To give it some stars and shine, I splattered on some Liquid Stardust, followed by Copic Opaque White. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it down with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables.

I glued that to a Black Licorice card base, then added my images, and finished it off with some Star Dust Stickles and some tiny iridescent stars. If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can find the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty!

Thank you so much, Christy for sharing adorable inspiration!

We hope you have a fun and crafty weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!

- Nancy Krueger 10 Comments

Hello Fawnatics friends! Welcome to a new challenge! For this challenge Jenn has created a fun Card Sketch to inspire your creativity! Your card can be any theme or style as long as we can see how the sketch influenced your design!

We invite 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, February 28th 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!

Let’s see how our Design Team used the Card Sketch to inspire them.

Samantha M used the sketch to place her cute unicorn, rainbow and clouds in her beautiful scene!

Christy used Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait to follow the sketch. She created cute little vignettes using Critters on the Farm!

Karin followed the sketch pretty closely to create a beautiful wedding card! She layered Lacy Heart Stackables with Cole’s ABCs to spell LOVE. Then she used the vines and flowers from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On to add pretty detail. She finished the card with a sentiment from Swan Soirée.

Jessica replaced the hearts with the cute typewriters from You’re Just My Type to follow the sketch. I love how the sentiment is continued on each sheet of typing paper. She finished this fun anniversary design with a sentiment from Happy Happy Happy!

Samantha C created a fun birthday card using Beam Me Up! She used the sketch to place these super cute images. I love how the “beam” connects the two elements!

Joyce used the sketch creatively by omitting one of the hearts! Then she used Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables as windows to arrange the Special Delivery images.

Franci created a happy design by replacing the hearts with adorable little flan from Sweet Friends! The tiny strawberries and hearts add cute detail to her clean and simple card.

Caly combined Candy Hearts and XOXO Backdrop: Portrait to create a happy design for Valentine’s Day!

Jenn used the new Distress Ink color Kitsch Flamingo to create a fun Flamingo Together design! You see the sketch reflected in the placement of the Stitched Hearts and the pair of flamingos!

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 94 What’s the Weather tomorrow!
