For this challenge we are welcoming a Guest Designer! Big hugs and thanks to Wendie for being the first of our Lawn Fawnatics Guest Designers!

Wendie‘s beautiful card uses Flamingo Together with Critters from the Past palm trees! The sentiment from Summertime Charm is perfect for this bright and sunny design!

Now for some inspiration from the Design Team:

Christy’s adorable Ahoy, Matey card features the most iconic of summertime destinations: a tropical island!
I love how Samantha M. combined the sentiments from a variety of sets, including Hello Sunshine, Life is Good, Love You S’more, Violets ABCs and Let’s Play to add fun text and sentiments to her adorable summer hockey scrapbook page! For some cuteness she added those sweet and smiley clouds from Plane and Simple!
Jessica‘s Mermaid for You card is so delightful! I love how she stamped the fun school of fish in a loop around the mermaid, that is so clever!
Roxanne‘s super cute card depicts a wonderful summer day spent flying kites! Yay, Kites and Little Picket Fence Border set the scene for fun!
Karin created a sweet summer card using Mermaid for You, So Jelly and Life is Good! I love how she framed this cute scene with the oval from Magic Color Slider!
Samantha C gathered some of her favorite woodland critters for a fun summertime BBQ! Jump for Joy, Party Animal, Stinkin’ Cute and Let’s BBQ star in this happy little  scene!
For Nancy, summer means the beach! She colored the Louie’s ABCs letters in beach-y colors with Copic markers, then added a Spring Showers sun and Smitty’s ABCs sentiment.

Join us here tomorrow for our Challenge 7 Featured Fawnatics and our Random Winner!


A Graduation Card by Jessica

Jessica joins us today with a beautiful ink blended card!

Good morning! Jess here with a bright and cheerful graduation card using the colors from our Spring Inspiration Board challenge to inspire me!

To start I blended Wilted Violet, Broken China, and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of watercolor paper and spritzed it with Perfect Pearls spray for a little shimmer. I trimmed down the panel and adhered it to white card base. Next I stamped the flamingo from Flamingo Together onto Copic-friendly cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored him with Copic markers. I also added some clear sparkle over his body for extra shine. I die-cut him with the coordinating dies and set him aside while I put the card together.

I used the Ocean Wave Borders die to die cut light blue cardstock and then stamped the sentiment from Flamingo Together with Versamark ink and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered the waves to the water-colored background and then used foam mounting tape to adhere my flamingo to the scene. I finished the card with a sprinkling of clear iridescent sequins!

I hope this gives you some ideas on how to use the color palette for our current challenge! Have a wonderful weekend and happy crafting!

-Jess
