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!

Grace’s Thank Ewe Reveal Wheel Card

- Nancy Krueger 8 Comments

Hello Fawnatics friends! Today Grace is sharing a super clever Reveal Wheel card using our Hay There sheep! It’s wonderful inspiration for our Happy Little Critters challenge that will be open until Sunday January 20th at 11:59PM ET.

Grace explains how she created her card: First I decorated the top panel and the rotating circle’s center. I used the Puffy Cloud Borders to make a stencil out of cardstock and sponged the clouds with distress inks. Then I die cut a circle with Outside In Stitched Circle Stackables from the Reveal Wheel panel aligning it so it’s center would match the center of the rotating wheel which was fixed to the back panel with the head of the brad pointing up and being exposed. Then I assembled the mechanism without the images and once both panels were secured, I added the sheep images to the rotating wheel, making sure I used one layer of foam tape (enough for it to fit in the circle and checking it wouldn’t get stuck when rotating, and also enough to hold each image). After the sheep where attached to the Reveal Wheel circle (I could fit two exactly opposite to each other, the closer to the exposed brad as possible). I finished decorating the whole front panel by attaching the fence right in front of the exposed metal brad to cover it but gluing it to the grass so the brad moves freely (the grass panel is attached with foam tape).

Grace used Grassy Hillside Borders and trees from Shadow Box Card to create the fun meadow scene. The sentiment is a combination of Scripty Thanks and a phrase from Hay There.
