Samantha’s Tropical Card Sketch Inspiration

We invite you to join us for our current Card Sketch Challenge! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. The Card Sketch challenge will be open until Sunday, March 6th at 11:59PM ET.

Samantha Mann joins us today to share her gorgeous Card Sketch inspiration! She switched the sketch to the other side and gave it a tropical spin! So fun!

Samantha masked off a portion of the card and used Distress inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to create a colorful panel. Then using the same colors of ink, she added fun detail with Tropical Leaves Background Stencils!

Next, she stamped the Toucan Do It images with Jet Black ink and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut out with the coordinating dies! She arranged them on the inky panel then added the white heat-embossed sentiment!

Thanks so much for this brilliant inspiration, Samantha!

I hope you are inspired to create your own brilliant design with the Card Sketch! We are looking forward to seeing your creativity!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Samantha created the sweetest Toucan Do It scene on an Outside In Stitched Heart! She used rainbow colors from the inspiration board and the heart shaped candy box from Scent with Love Add-On!

Joyce combined Scent with Love, Scent with Love Add-On and Peekaboo Backdrop to craft a beautiful Valentine! She added the heart-filled background using Lots of Hearts Background Stencils!

Christy‘s cheerful card combines Cerealsly Awesome with Milk and Cookies on a Cross-Stitched Square! The pink and blue stenciled hearts look beautiful as the background!

Jessica‘s card is a Special Delivery of lots of heart! She also used Special Delivery Add-On. The Lots of Hearts were stenciled with Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Festive Berries.

Karin‘s beautiful monogram design combines Lacy Heart Stackables, Cole’s ABCs and a vine and hearts from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On. She inked and stenciled background then added white and gold splatters, finally framing everything with a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Franci‘s lovely design features Quilted Heart Backdrop: Portrait, Giant XOXO and Scent with Love! The pretty pastel colors add lots of sweetness to her Valentine card!

Sam used the breakfast trifecta on her brilliant card! She combined Cerealsly Awesome, Milk and Cookies and Let’s Toast to create a fun and punny design with lots of heart!

Caly used our Conversation Heart Stencils to add the colorful background! Then she attached the Gift Card Heart Envelope to give a thoughtful gift!

Jenn was inspired by the challenge board photos to create a clean and simple Valentine! Her design features Stinkin’ Cute with a Quinn’s ABCs sentiment!
