- Nancy Krueger 8 Comments

Hi Fawnatics friends! It’s time for another challenge! This time we want you to “create a scene” with either a city or a country theme!


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, stencils and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, April 30 at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! Everyone who enters a challenge has a chance to be the random drawing winner! Woohoo!

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!

Design Team Inspiration

It looks like most of our Design Team members are country girls at heart!


Catherine created a super fun, superhero in the city themed Platform Pop-Up card! The superhero mouse from You Autumn Know has a mask and cape from Happy Howloween. Catherine created the cityscape with Village Border, Build-A-Castle and Build-A-Barn. Then she added emergency vehicles from Village Heroes.


Joyce created a country fair scene with the new Ferris Wheel from Wheely Great Day! She added to scene with Village Shops and Happy Village, then she added lots of happy Tiny Friends!


What could be more “country” than a barnyard full of cute farm animals! Samantha combined Hay There with You Goat This to create a country themed birthday card!


Mimi‘s Apple-solutely Awesome apple-picking scene is so adorable! She included smaller trees from Tree Before ‘n Afters and layered all the trees on treetops from the Tree House set. She also added the wagon from Let’s Go Nuts and the net from Butterfly Kisses Flip-Flop, so clever.


You Goat This and All-Star combine in Samantha‘s country scene! I love the pink sunrays she inked in the background with white stencil paste clouds over the top!


Christy‘s amusement park scene is filled with sunshine and fun! She combined Wheely Great Day and Coaster Critters with some trees from Happy Village!


Franci‘s cute You Goat This scene makes me think of an alpine meadow in the Spring! I love that she created her scene in a die cut circle with Heart Garden Border, layering the cute goats on top!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 WEEKS and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 146 – Color Inspiration tomorrow! We can’t wait to see which theme you will choose, city vs country!

Jenn created an amazing monochromatic village scene to celebrate the New Year. She was inspired by the fireworks in the Inspiration Board!

Jenn created a watercolor panel with shades of black and grey. She added the Stitched Fireworks to the sky, then added lots of bright color! She splattered Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold metallic ink for lots of sparkle.

Next, she colored the images from Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes in monochromatic shades of gray.

The bold greeting rings in the new year with Quinn’s 123s and Riley’s ABCs! She gold embossed “happy” then she added Chunky Glitter to the numbers!


Thank you so much for this brilliant inspiration, Jenn!
