Samantha always brings the whimsy to her amazing card designs! For this amazing birthday card, she assembled critters from Elephant Parade, Elephant Parade Add-On, Toucan Do It and Wild for You. After coloring them in totally whimsical colors she arranged them on a Tropical Leaves stenciled background! This design is just perfect for a “wild birthday”!

Samantha’s Tropical Card Sketch Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

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!
