It’s the last weekend for this challenge and Karin has some super fun inspiration for you! She says, I am Swedish, and I think Lapland with the Sami people, the Nordic light and the vast plains, the mountains and the reindeer are unique.


Karin created the mountains and the reindeer using Over the Mountain Borders. She used Distress ink to create the Northern Lights, then she used the stitched rectangle from Window Scene: Spring to frame her scene.


Next, she added the deer from Ugly and Bright, using Copic markers for the colorful sweater. Then she die-cut Henry’s ABCs to spell her country, giving the letters a pretty ombré look!

Your design is so much fun, Karin! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us!

Remember it’s the last weekend for this challenge! We will be back on Monday with fresh, new inspiration for you!

Jenn Takes the Ugly and Bright Critters to the Beach!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

It’s time to use all those Lawn Fawn critters in festive holiday designs! Link up your entry photos HERE! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers and follow the challenge theme. This challenge will be open until Sunday, December 4 at 11:59PM ET.

Jenn joins us today with more charming Holiday Critters inspiration!

Jenn’s adorable scene takes the Ugly and Bright critters to the beach for a cozy holiday! She began by stenciling the snowflakes in the background with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. Then she stamped all the images (see supply list below for the sets she used) with Jet Black Ink before coloring them with Copic markers.

All the glittery accents were adding using Quickie Glue and Prisma and Chunky Glitter.

She inked the Henry’s ABCs with Kitsch Flamingo and Lobster Ink to create a fun ombré, then she covered the lower part of each letter with Chunky Glitter.

As always, Jenn shares a Copic marker chart so you can recreate her cheery coloring!
