More Fabulous Inspiration by our Guest Designer, Davina!

Hello Fawnatics Friends! We are one week into our Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and you guys are seriously impressing us with your creativity! There is still a full week to enter the challenge which is open until Sunday, March 17 at 11:59PM ET.

Our amazing Guest Designer, Davina joins us again today to share 2 more fabulous cards to inspire your crafting! She will tell you about her process for making these clever card designs!

“I love creating scenes from movies and books. And when I’m going through my stamp sets I’m always thinking about what else can be created with the images. I was inspired by one on my favorite childhood movies Bambi. I knew that I had images for all the main characters.

My favorite part of the movie is the “Twitterpated” spring. And I tried to recreate that meadow scene. After die cutting my panels I ink-blended the background and splattered white opaque ink on the golden sky. I stamped out all my images and colored them with Copic markers and white gel pen highlights. I wanted my cute Flower the skunk to be behind the flowers like he was in the movie, so I popped the flowers and grass up on foam tape and placed him behind.

Thumper sits atop the log from the Toadally Awesome set, Bambi is standing in front. I didn’t forget Owl who is perched on a branch whistling away. It was such a joy to create this iconic scene and I hope that you play along with the current challenge to create your own scenes.”

“I am such a lover of everything Harry Potter that I couldn’t resist making a something inspired by the Wizarding World. Honeydukes Sweet Shop is by far one of my favorite magical places.”

“After already creating two projects I wanted to try something a little different. I wanted to make a scene that would appear like I was living in the Wizarding World.  And what would the table look like upon emptying my pockets after a day in Hogsmeade Village. I’d have Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, and Chocolate Frogs. There would be Droobles best blowing gum and Fizzing Wizzbees. I would have brought home a Pumpkin Pasty for later and some sweet Jelly Slugs (formerly a cute snail from Gleeful Gardens who lost him shell).”

Thank you so much, Davina! Your card art is amazing and we are so happy that you joined us for this challenge!

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner 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 what our talented Design Team has created to inspire you!

Christy‘s Beep Boop Birthday card is a charming way to send a message of love to a favorite guy, young or old! How cute is that stamped background?!

Franci‘s sweet pastel Valentine card pairs the cute little dino from RAWR with the How You Bean? Conversation Hearts! For the backdrop she layered an Outside In Stitched Heart with papers from Really Rainbow and Gotta Have Gingham!

Grace made a trio of fun Valentines with the How You Bean? mason jar and the How You Bean? Shaker Add-On! She added one to a Scalloped Treat Box with cute critters and a fun shaker filled with hearts and Quinn’s ABCs. The second shaker card features a sweet pun white embossed on the acetate window. Grace also created a fun candy “shaker” treat box!

To make an opening to access the candies, Grace used a die from Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On. Now that’s pretty clever!

Jessica used Polka Heart Backdrop to create the pretty red heart background! She used an Outside In Stitched Scalloped Circle to anchor the cute I Love You(calyptus) scene!

Joyce used the Lots of Love theme to make this whimsical wedding card with the Let’s Toast avocado and accessories from Bicycle Built for You! To add the greeting Joyce used Bannertastic with a sentiment from Gingham Backdrops!

The sweet bears from Winter Skies add cuteness to Karin‘s lovely Reveal Wheel card! How pretty is the white on white design with Birch Trees on the Reveal Wheel Square Add-On!

Samantha M added an ink blended circle of color for her adorable I Love You(calyptus) koala! The strip of black and white stripes coordinate with the white embossing sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock!

Samantha C. chose our adorable pair of manatees from Manatee-rific for her Valentine card! She combined it with the sentiment from Love You Tons!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and of course we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 44 tomorrow!
